OK, first the numbers;
VIN: 64V-15003
Body Tag: 64V - J8
1354
Did the Studebaker plant have a 'body bank'? It seems as I read along here that the '1354' is the body number when welded up. If this is the case, by the seriel number, this was the 5003 car down the line. Is this possible? Would this body shell have sat at the plant while almost 3700 cars went before it did? Or is this the 1354th hardtop assembled?
