Re: Anyone know this Maxie?

Hi Robert,

Depends if it's a Stage I (Ramcharger) or Stage II (Ramcharger A).
According to Darrel Davis, there were this many Polara 500's:

Stage I:
96 2DR HT
28 Convert
124 Total
Onyx BB-1 paint code: 37

Stage II:
7 2DR HT
0 Convert
7 Total
Onyx BB-1 paint code: 2

FYI, including the 330, 330, Polara and Polara 500, there were 962
Maxies of both flavors for 1963.  This is including the single 330
Wagon.  Wonder where that is?

On a personal note, I'm the proud owner of what looks like the only
Ivory Stage II Polara 500.  Of course, it's in need of a total restore
and not running and with a couple of 3 and 7 year old boys and what
seems like 10 minutes per week to work on it, I'm figuring I'll be old
and gray before I can enjoy it.  But it's my delusions that keep me
going.
