    59 Plastic Tag

    Can anyone help me identify a small plastic tag that I found packed with some parts that were included with a recent 59 Corvette purchase?

    I believe this may have something to do with the soft top.

    Tag reads: BP 3 58

    MSWMA9 11140

    3761742
    It is black plastic about 2" long and 3/4" wide. The letters are embossed in the plastic.

    Thanks

    I think you found the tag that was attached to the seat frame. I just had my seats recovered and before I shipped them out, I noticed that one of them had the long black plastic tag. Fairly certain they were from the seat frame manufacturer, but I'm not sure what the numbers mean, except that "3 58" seems like March of '58 since your car is a '59. Go to the archives on this site and go to the 2003-2005 archives and plug in the #3761742 and you will find someone else who asked the same question in 2004. He also found the tag on the back of the seat springs. Hope this helps. Steve

      Ken,

      Make sure you let me know about your car so I can add it to the '59 Corvette Registry. Congrats on the purchase.

      Regards,

        Ken,

        Look like this? These are from my 59, built mid March of 59. Actually it's a plastic coated paper, very delicate.

            Yes, that's exactly what it looks like.

            Thanks for the info.
