Garden Variety 1964 Monza Convertible

Could you give me a decode on this Fischer Body tag? The car is being sold after owning it for over 36 years. I pretty much know what the numbers and letters come out to, but what the heck, here it is anyways and make it official. Thanks folks.

Strange, but I don't see any production date info on your body tag. Even the body build three-digit code on the upper-left is incomplete on your body tag! Here is a normal example...



Here is a breakdown of the information on the body tag you provided...

"0E" ????
In the example, "03B" would indicate: Body Build Date: 03 = March (1964), B = Second Week
The first digits are numbers 1 through 12, indicating the month of manufacture. The letter is A-E, indicate the week of the month. If the letter is a "B" it indicates the second week of the month.

I was figuring the "OE" might be the last week of October 1963. I know, it doesn't compute. Maybe the guy was in a hurry or not concentrating when he stamped it and left off the number one? So then my car must be real special. Thanks.

This is more the actual Ember Red color. Of course mine is a bit too red and not the more correct tomato red shade. The 1964 Monza wearing the paint shade pictured above is just a plain wrong way too bright red.
