1971 El Camino Fisher Body Number Plate General Information
-
Baltimore, Kansas City, and Van Nuys showed the distinctive style number on their trim tag and differentiated between L6 and V8 VIN series.
-
The SS option package (RPO Z15) was changed from a performance option to more of a dress-up option. Any optional V8 could be ordered with the SS Equipment option on a Chevelle sport coupe, convertible, or pickup.
-
Numbers in parentheses after the STYLE are number of units produced and are for total production of the series/model depicted on the body plate except where noted. Unless otherwise noted, this production number assumes the trim tag STYLE to match the VIN series/model number. This is not always the case as noted in the first bulleted item.
-
Arlington joined Flint and Van Nuys from 1970 with the 1 3/4" x 4" trim tag size compared to 2 3/16" x 3 1/2" retained by Baltimore, Kansas City & Oshawa.
