Todd B Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Does any one know why dodge skipped the vowels in the codes. No B-1-A, E or I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merle Coggins Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Because Pat Sajak wasn’t available to buy a vowel? But didn’t the Route Vans use the “E” designation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBNeal Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Maybe the "A" code was for preproduction runs... Route Vans were "DU" & "EU"... Maybe the "I" code looked too much like the number 1 or a lower case "l" which could cause confusion... When I worked for an OEM, we had certain production codes that were off-limits for a variety of reasons: some were to eliminate confusion, some were for tooling, some for prototypes, some for testing, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48Dodger Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 As near as I can tell...they fixed that problem in the sixties..... A- Body Dart B-Body Charger E- Body Cuda D-Body Truck Of course Trucks had built up to the D series via the post war truck. My guess is that SO MANY Ferd Model A's had been built, that starting with an A was out of the question...... Just a guess...not an actor. 48D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
