A GM VIN 1G1 on a VIN would be a Chevrolet identifier. This is a '96 top: ![]() Last edited by WVZR-1; 02-05-2014 at 03:23 PM. |

The leading "1" in the VIN = made in the USA.

I don't believe that's correct on the top "identifier" - yes that's correct for 17 digit VIN configurations but I believe the top "identifier" would actually be the third digit of the VIN which identified the car line. I mentioned that in the other thread.
1 - Chevrolet, 2 - Pontiac, 3 - Oldsmobile, 4 - Buick, 6 - Cadillac I based my thoughts on this LT1 engine information that's been around for some time and it makes sense so that law enforcement agencies can use that derivative to further verify vehicle identification when required. ![]() Note the comments in the lower right for the engine VIN derivative. The ZF also uses a similar vin derivative and the 1st digit is also a 1 - I'd say that rules out the US reference and might reinforce the car line identifier. Here's a '91 from the Registry: ![]() Last edited by WVZR-1; 02-05-2014 at 07:18 PM. |

Great to meet you guys yesterday...so glad I decided to head up to the show and so blessed to be a part of the Brotherhood! The answer is a resounding YES, I do want to repair my top but I'm in no hurry; other financial priorities at this point. I'd sure appreciate info on a local company that can help. Again, no hurry, though. One other quick question, at the risk of highjacking an old thread: we spoke about the AZ emissions exemption yesterday...do you know if I can just walk into MVD with a copy of my Grundy collector policy card and get registered without the test required? Thanks again...look forward to seeing you again soon. It would be cool to see Lorne's and my white on reds side by side, too! Chris |

I have a film on the inside of my acrylic top very similar to the one shown here. Not sure if it's still available but it works great and was $20 from Mid America.
