G'day all,
Some time ago, I recall there being a discussion on the reference to either the No. 1, or the letter l or I with regards to the use of the number or letter in the list of fitted Accessories from the Factory.
Can anyone recall it, as I found an article that might help regarding what it means. It was a long time ago, something like 3 to 5 years ago.
Thanks,
Bruce. >:D
Hi Bruce,
I think the final agreement was that it was for stereo holes to be punched at the rear. So, it should never be on a 1965 or earlier car. I don't know if it appeared on later than 1970.
HTH, Bob
I was going through the Ordering Procedure for the 1972 Cadillac, and it made mention of the I and l being for Remote Control Right Side door mirror.
This is from the 1972 Cadillac Optional Specifications
Page 3. Right Side Remote Control Mirror - Code "l" (Printed as a letter l, but without the top and bottom bits. Just a vertical line)
Code "I" has been assigned to this popular option to eliminate duplicate codes. The availability of this option remains the same - standard on Fleetwood "75" and optional on all other body styles.
I remember there being a lot of discussion back and forth arguing as to whether it was a No 1, or a letter I. But, the printing shows a single vertical line as either a 1 without the top bit, or a capital I without the top and bottom bits.
Bruce. >:D
HI Bruce,
restrict this discussion to 1966 to 1970 cars.
Can't do that as only allows decades, not part decades.
But, I did it to cover just '70's
Bruce. >:D
