67 Birthdate.

[Richard S.]

A question for those who might have worked at the St.Louis plant in 1967.....at approximately what time in the morning would 1967 VIN.NUMBER:15629 have rolled off the production line.....if 15629 was the first car built on the morning of Thursday, April 6th, 1967. Thanks for the help.

Re: 67 Birthdate.

Are you kidding? You want to know what time in the morning your car was finished?

8:45 AM after the first coffee truck.

There's no way of knowing whether it was the first car off the line that day, but the whistle blew at 7:00 AM. No "roach-coach"

Thanks John.

It looks like St.Louis was doing 99 cars per day around that time in April. If it was a 9 hour work day....7AM to 5PM with 1 hour for lunch....that would be around 11 cars per hour.....would that be about right in your opinion.

Re: 67 Birthdate.

I think St. Louis was working two shifts in 1967.

Rick -

Nope - it was two 8-hour shifts, seven jobs per hour, 30-minute lunch break.

Re: 67 Birthdate.

It appears that in the month of April,1967 the plant was assembling 104 cars per day, during two 8 hour shifts, with 1/2 hour each shift for lunch, resulting in 15 working hours per day. That would be approximately 7 cars per hour or one car every 9 minutes.
