    Rosette rivets

    Could someone please clarify this Rosetta rivet question?
    I'm told all 65 vin tags had the Rosetta rivet yet another person tells me
    it started in 66.
    Plz help as I'm looking at a 65 and the vin is on by the rivet it appears as the trim tag.
    thanx

    Early 1965 Corvettes had the VIN plate attached with regular pop rivets, the same as used for the trim tag. Later 1965 right through 1982 used the "rosette" rivets. Just when the change-over occurred during 1965, I do not know.

      Re: Rosetta rivets

      My '65 (7841) shipping date of January 25, 1965 has standard pop rivets for the VIN plate. According to Noland's book the VIN plate rivets change to rosettes about the same time my car was built. The head on trim tag rivets appear much larger than the VIN plate rivets.

          I don't think so, from what I understand the change took place in early 1965 (Calendar Date).

          I'll grab my JG and see what it says.

            Re: Rosetta rivets

            I just checked my 5th edition judging guide and it doesn't mention the rivets at all from what I see.

            Wayne Midkiff has THE LAST 1965 built. I'm sure he can tell if his has regular rivet or Rosetta rivets.

              Noland Vol 2 has pop rivets changing to rosettes around VIN 10000 or roughly mid Feb 1965.

                  Have seen the round rivets into the high 9000 (9800-9900) range with some tags having having one round and one rosette rivet. Doesn't appear to be and exact vin number change over but rather just used up the supply of round rivets

                              My 65 Convertible VIN 8093 has rosette. I believe this is a mid January car.
