All received my IBM CARD for my car - a 1962 Chrysler 300 Sport Convertible. Just trying to locate/understand the following codes on the document for 1962.

Dealership Code: 82003
Region:15

I'm sure dealership codes changed often back then with new dealerships coming on-line and other ones leaving the system. I haven't found anywhere on the internet with the codes for "1962" production year. Can anyone out there provide me with the information or where I can find this information?

The Car was shipped on 14 May 1962 out of Detroit (Jefferson Assembly)

Appreciate any insights, anyone may have.

My understanding of dealer code assignments was that Chrysler `recycled' the numbers. Dealer code 12345 assigned to a dealer in one part of the country who went out of business might shortly thereafter be assigned to a totally unrelated dealer in another part of the country in a different sales zone altogether. In the late 1970/early 1980 period, printouts of US dealer codes were done on a monthly basis, so for all intents and purposes a list of dealer codes was a living document that evolved constantly.

You might try asking Historical if they know who the dealer is/was, but I personally believe they will not have this information.
