Happy Memorial Day weekend to the group! I'm doing research on the Tri-Five Chevy production data in an effort to find my grandfather's 1956 Chevy Nomad. I do ont know the VIN but I found a list of date/plant ending serial numbers from DanChuk.com showing the last 6 of VIN) (tables linked below) and had a few questions.
https://www.danchuk.com/blog/?p=10419
There are only 2330 unique numbers in the 1956 table but my understanding is that 7,886 Nomads were built that year.
1) Does the 1956 table only show the final VIN produced at each assembly plant on each date?
2) If so, do you have a complete list of every Chevy Nomad VIN from 1956 by date/plant?
3) Are the numbers for each date sequential? For example, the Janvesville VIN for 10/4/55 is 2628 while the 10/3/55 VIN is 1814; does that mean there were 814 cars built on 10/4/55?
4) Is the 1956 table for all Chevy models (150/210/Bel Air/Nomad) and if so, is there anyway to determine which VINs are for Nomads versus other models?
5) My grandfather's Nomad was ivory/dusk plum (paint code 708) and purchased in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area. Is there anyway to match the color code to a specific VIN and/or assembly plant to piece together the likely VIN for his car?
6) Is there anyway to reverse search for VIN based on the previous owner's name (i.e., my grandfather's name)?
Thanks in advance for your help, cheers!
