I'm not sure if you wanted a picture of mine or not but here it is....just looks like a plain 66....built in the winter of 65 in the Fermont, CA plant and sold up in Oregon.

Sorry...I meant to say "FREMONT plant" in California!

From what I'm used to with cars and trucks alike, If the car/truck was manufactured from January-June of the year i.e. 1963 then it was a 63. If it was manufactured from July-December of the year (see year previously mentioned) it was considered a late year vehicle unless noted otherwise. If you want to get more technical like with Ford( a name that doesn't belong on this site for they aren't really meant for this site) they went and created the "half year" model, like the 1964 1/2 mustang, where I think the previous mentioned production year issue came into play. There's many benefactors to this so who knows. Every maker had their system of labeling the years of the new and late models.
