Mine lists these assembly sites in 1965: A - Atlanta B - Baltimore G - Framingam K - Kansas City Z - Fremont I don't know whether a CA-smog car would have been built in Baltimore.

Maybe someone here can help. I have a 1972 Chevelle Malibu that came stock with a 307 2 BBL, and TH350 transmission. The VIN starts out with 1D37F2B which translates to. 1 - Chevrolet D - Malibu 37 - 2-door sport coupe F - 307 engine (I can think of something else that begins with "F" that describes that engine.) 2 - 1972 B - Baltimore production plant Okay - The car came with California emissions, as evidenced by the smog crap that was still on it when we bought it in 1981, and the sticker on the radiator cover explaining that it was a California emissions engine. So, was this car built in Baltimore and originally sold in California? I always considered it a lifetime California car - and its rust-free body certainly looks as if it is. However, I thought that Van Nuys would certainly build enough cars for the California market - and from a business perspective, why would they ship ANY California cars out from Baltimore? Anyone know if any California cars were shipped out West from Baltimore? My car has given me a few surprises, so this would certainly be one of them. T.J.
