not counting any "pilot" TRANS AM car builds
- the A53 cars were "SCHEDULED" for roughly 6 weeks 3/10 to 4/17
- the A53 cars were actually built "In Plant/In Process" for roughly 8 weeks 3/6 to 5/4

Saw a TA fender tag that was a production date of 216 and vin started with 296 or 286 is this possible?  :thinking:

0B296xxx includes AARs & T/As  - Scheduled early April

I looked at the tag again the vin is 296 but the date sure looks like 216. The date caught my attention that is why I asked.               
                                                                           A mistake?
