Production Info (was Re: IML: '56 Torqueflites)

[JCantor791@xxxxxxx]

Chrysler Historical was still providing build sheet information at this time 
last year as that's where I got the information for my car.  Go to 
www.chryslerhistorical.com (or is it www.chryslerheritage.com??? - I'm getting confused) 
and follow the link for enthusiasts and then archives.  It costs something 
like $45 for the information based on your S/N although they never cashed my 
check even after sending me the build info and an excellent reproduction owners 
manual.

That probably is close to the time your car was assembled. I bought my car 35 
years ago. At that time I was still able to find out production information 
from the factory. They also sent me an owners manual and sales brochure for 
free. I think I paid $15.00 for a brand new shop manual.

I am quite certain that you are not be able to do this today. Around 5 years 
ago Chrysler Corporation sponsored the creation of its own historical 
foundation/museum. This organization has been discussed here before. I believe that 
some IML'rs have been able to find out some details about their cars through 
that source. You may find information about it in the Imperial Club Web site.
