Could someone please explain how the VINs are assigned? I am researching the various Indy Pace Cars and have started to look at 1962. I have the Freewheeling article with a list of the VINs, so here is my question:
The first two digits are the year, so 62.
The next digit is the engine size:
S- 6-170
V- 8-259
P- 8-289
The next five are sequential assigned numbers. Are these assigned staring with 00001 for each engine size, or as they came down the line regardless of engine? Could there be two with the same 5 digits, with a different engine size?
The reason I ask is I found a Pace Car VIN of 62V 28419 and a Daytona with 62S 28419.
Another 62 Pace Car question. Is there a list of how many total Studebakers were assigned to the track besides the Lark? Here is a wagon
