Stupid question,,,is their a list of what years are what??

[1just4don]

I really enjoy this site. I am a realtive newbie that is TRYING to learn as fast as I can(Okay I am learning deficient). Everyone is in the know here and rattles off my P-15 or D-24, 21, 89, 69, or whatever they have. IS there a list of what years are what numbers??? IF I can find one it WILL be printed and posted on the wall,,,right here for my constant reference. I always heard there are no stupid questions,,,this one proves the saying quite false!!! :D

Don't worry, P15 and D24 are the only ones I know for sure. D25, I usually get right. Other than that, I just know that it's newer or older than my Dodge.

As an engineering professor would tell us, the only stupid question is the one not asked.

But it seems I am the exception to all the rules of LIFE. If it can be broke, I can break it,,,if it can be screwed up,,I can manage,,if bad luck comes in threes,,, for me its 3 of 3's so that makes 9's. So IF a stupid question existed,,,I have asked it.

I can't help on the Dodge (D) numbers. But for Plymouth here is a list of serial numbers correlated to engineering model code (e.g. P15) and year:

How about the one seater coupes,,,did they have same number as a two door,,or there own set of numbers?? And were fast backs and two door hardtops any different??? I am saving that list forever,,,THANKS!!!

I looked at your profile and it does not say what year and make your car is. You might consider adding that. And-or a picture. I have old-timers and can't recall what car each person has. A few I know by heart by now, but many I don't. My hint is in my handle, the part about "47P15". Hang in there and keep asking questions.....as you can see, the answers usually will appear. Bob

On the Allpar site, if you can find the stories by Curtis Redgap about his youth, growing up in a family owned MoPar dealership, read them. I thought they were very interesting and entertaining. Would post a link, but coundn't find one at this very moment. Will try to look some more later.

Most of the models were broke down by Deluxe or Special Deluxe...later years the 1, 2 3, were the three model lines..where Plaza was the low line 1 then Savoy 2 and the Belvedere was a 3...P22 was basically the 111 wheelbase (Concorde/Suburban) and the P23 was the 118 wheelbase (Cambridge/Cranbrook)..these I took from my 1955 Motor Manual...Did not take the time to list the DeSoto or the Chrysler...
