The information found in the production records varies depending on the type and time period of the vehicle. However, records may include the serial and model type/number, assembly date, color and trim information, ship date and accessories. Details on the shipment of a vehicle to a branch or dealer are sometimes noted on a record. We typically do not have information on the original or subsequent owners of the vehicles.
To order a production record for your vehicle, please fill out and email back our Production Record Order Form, there is a $35 fee per vehicle. If your car does not fall within these date/serial number ranges we do not have the records and do not know of any sources who do.
