I can see a number or two, but no way could I read them.

Has anyone ever heard of a 69 SS chevelle with 2 different tags on the inside door panels?
Driver side says Concours and the passenger side says SS396.
Anything special about this car or was this an option?
Thanks Joe
Based on where the spare tire is (and other pics),
that number is on the passenger side.It kind of looks like an L to
me...

That
ebay one looks like the RH side. Could that last digit be a 4? It’s hard to
tell with the paint on.
Still, a crash parts book would contain the answer to whether or not
it's a part number.

Looks like one is a 361721 and the other is a 381727. Odd body

Actually John, just go to your local parts store
with your old choke cover in hand, and ask them to find an electric choke to
fit. The guts are mounted to the cover. You know if they could match up to my 40
year old Rochester your Edelbrock will be a piece of cake.

Looks like a part number to me, and of
course the part number would indicate whether it's for a 2dr or 4dr. If anyone
has one of those old crash parts books the answer to whether or not it is a part
number would be there.
I'm sure Dale McIntosh will weigh in on this when
he gets online. If anyone can answer it,he can.

You may very well be right Bill. I just found it
curious that in my case, it started with 13817 (which made sense to me) but the
following 27 just threw me off...

I don't think it cost them anything more to stamp the panels when they
were made.
It was possibly an identifier stamp for Fisher body to know whether it
was to go on a 2 door, 4 door, or convertible.

I've used those before. The two things that
seem to help more is lithium grease and more support. I buy the lithium
