Re: 1963 Switzerland built Fury fender tags info.?

["Gary H." <spigot2039@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Very nice detective work Bill! 

http://1962to1965mopar.ornocar.com/images/gachet63tag3.jpg is a revised image with the
unclear codes clarified. Had to look at the back of the tag to figure out what the front of the fender tag was trying to say!

Thanks,
Gary
