It was a metal plate, about credit card size. The dealer would stamp it with buyer and vehicle info when you bought a new car. They would swipe it when you came in for warrantee work. Save time I guess. Usually kept in an envelope with the owners manual in the glove box. Today they are an important source of data (if you have one) on how your car was delivered from the factory. The vehicle info that the dealer stamped in, included engine, tranny & other options. A P-O-P is as valid as a build sheet to determine legitamacy of a car. Most/many P-O-Ps were lost along the way. The P-O-P is very valuable to the folks who are going for a factory restoration. I'm not one of those folks. I know we do have a couple on the list and they can give a better answer. And 40 msgs is an average day. Weekends are slow and I've seen 80-100 in a day when there is a particularly hot topic being booted around. rick schaefer 72 El Camino http://members.home.net/jimmy4/rick1972elky.html TPI 350-700r4 http://chevelles.com/showroom/ricks%20motor%20-L Team Chevelle # 0038 ACES #0140 On Tue, 05 Mar 2002 08:17:31 -0500 "Paul O'Brien" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > OK guys, here's a dumb question. > What does protect o plate mean and how do you know if your car has > one? > What makes a car with protect o plate so special. > Sorry, thats more than one question. > I just got on the list yesterday...didn't know I'd get 40 emails the > first day. > Thanks, Paul > > ----------------------------------------------------- > To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html > To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
