Discrepancies Between the Microfilm, Registry, and Ford Record (Consolidated)

[Brian Styles]

The goal is to get the Ford Record, DSO File and Registry Car database to match 100%. Believe it or not, we're real close!

These tables are our active attempt to resolve the discrepancies between the three data sources. 

The "Master" List (excludes large scale discrepancies)

This is the first table to look to see if you have a car that we're specifically looking for.

Do you own a car on any of these lists? Please help this project by sending us a copy of your car's Marti report and or Production Order.

Paint Color Discrepancies [STILL ACTIVE]

Trim (Interior) Discrepancies [RESOLVED]

One-off trim discrepancies between registry and microfilm were resolved as print typos and mis-stamped VINs. These are outlined be the Trim Discrepancies worksheet and the Master Discrepancies workbook.

 

Aside from the one-offs, there are materials supply issues that caused a number of 5A->6A discrepancies at the beginning of production, which we believe is due to the Comfortweave material not being available yet, and then again toward the end of production (cars on DSOs 2609 & 2611) that we believe is attributable to a materials shortage. A mixture of trim on a single DSO is contrary to the way things were supposed to happen, but the assembly line isn't halted for a non-critical parts/materials shortage. Trim and emissions components apparently fall into the non-critical category.

Total unit Quantity per DSO Discrepancies [RESOLVED]

In an order of magnitude, DSO unit quantity discrepancies are the most critical to solve.

[Update 3/21/2019: We're down to only one vehicle that is preventing the registry from matching the microfilm. We believe that extra unit is most likely car #0368, a Dark Moss Green car on DSO 2538]

[Update 3/23/2019: Confirmation received from KM that #0368 doesn't belong on DSO 2538; instead it belongs on DSO 2539. Argh, one problem solved, but a new one introduced. Stay tuned. The finish line is so close I can taste it!]

[Update 3/25/2019: with help from Dave Mathews, registrar, a few more cars were caught on the wrong DSOs, I am proud to say that today, we are 100% resolved] 

 

Package Code Discrepancies [RESOLVED]

[Update: 3/21/2019]

 

#0368 - was attributed DSO 2538. Actually belongs on DSO 2539.

#0434 - should be 400F 7 A   (was attributed to wrong DSO. Belongs on DSO 2534, which makes pkg correct with EECS exception)

#0435 - should be 410F 8 U   (was attributed to wrong DSO. Belongs on DSO 2528, which makes pkg correct)

[Update: 3/25/2019]

Remaining package code discrepancies have been resolved with the help of Dave Mathews, including: 

 

#0315 - should be 410F 2 A

#0808 - should be 410F 2 U

#0928 - should be 402F 4 A

#1069 - should be 210F 7 A

#1285 - should be 211F 2 A

#1309 - should be 210F 5 A

#1628 - should be 400F 4 A

#1869 - should be 410F 2 A

#2088 - should be 200F 7 A

#2129 - should be 210F 7 A

#2703 - should be 202F 7 A

#2924 - should be 202F 0 A

#3123 - should be 410F 5 A

 

Package Discrepancies (large-scale) [RESOLVED]

Update 2018-12-08: I now strongly believe the massive amount of package & trim discrepancies related to this quartet of DSOs (2534, 2536, 2538 and 2540) can be explained by attributing the numerous discrepancies to a parts/material shortage that affected cars built around the 1967 new's year's day holiday.
