Beautiful car but way over-priced in my opinion. Lot's of codes on that body tag.

Re: 65 VIN/Trim Tag de-code
Thanks guys, I appreciate the response and information. Also note on the VIN plate what appears to be a date stamp (7.25.65) with the characters individually struck next to the "DD". Anyone seen this before? Maybe a dealer delivery date to customer? Thanks and good day.
