silver smoke_old · build time in 1964 silver smoke_old June 5, 2008 at 12:12 PM

I am curious as to how long the process of building a Dearborn fastback in the fall of 1964 might have taken. My Kar has a date of October 1 on it's data plate, with dates on various panels from August 26 to October 12. I'm thinking at least 3 weeks from the data tag date, as the date of October 1 was when the order for the Kar was received at the assembly line.

All has become clear, a picture (or 2) really is worth a thousand words.

The first image shows the inside of the old frame rail and the exhaust support plate. The second image shows the one I made up and installed in a new rail. The car was made on October 1st, 1964 and the car had a transverse muffler.

As it happens, I have recently replaced the rear frame rail extensions on my Dearborn 65 K fastback which has a build date of Oct1/64. The rear rails were original to the car and do have the frame rail plates that are being discussed. I measured the existing rail plates and made copies which I welded into new rail extensions. I have pics of the original rail extension showing the plate and the new rail with the new plate installed. If anyone wants the pics, let me know or I can attempt to post them.
