RE: IML: IML Year ID question

My information comes from the parts book for 1981, a copy of which I am looking at as I type.

Regarding the second character in the VIN:

A is for ImperiAl.

C is for Chrysler

P is for Plymouth

And, B is for? - - - - - - - - - Dodge!?! (Bdodge? Bodge? Blewitagain?)

I know Bill Watson is infallible, but something got lost in the translation, I’m afraid.

The information that I got from Bill Watson a few years ago (when I was

building the Imperial Registry), said that an 81 is a "C" and 82 and 83s

are "A". I haven't verified this independently. If some one can prove me

wrong, please do so, so I can get the Imperial Registry and the VIN decoder

fixed.
