Hello,
I own a St Louis built 67 convertible that I have had since 2002. The car is Marlboro and has a black vinyl interior. The car also has a P-O-P which matches the trim tag.
Here is the issue: the trim tag is authentic, per the Trim Tag book (I did not own this book when I bought the car, and I did not really car at that time). The POP is also authentic per the ususal people who authenticate these. The issue is that the trim tag body date precedes the estimated birthday by about 18 days.
I am confused how this could have happened. I did not think a body could sit at St Louis for this type of period. Does it seem likely someone switched the tag? I do not know if anyone knew how to detect bogus tags back then so I would have expected them to get a repro instead of a genuine tag.
Thanks,
Rob.
