Alicia, you Pacer people are going to give me fits. 8^D Your number looks to be pre 1959. A 17ft Pacer was introduced in 1958, but the official records do not indicate a series number. Officially in 1959, the new numbering sequence started and the lay out was ; [length in feet] [ T, S, or SS] [sequence #] In your case, it could be a 1959, or a 1960 because it has SS0, the 0 possibly indicating 60. If it doesn't have the elaborate 3 color nameplate with Wally's likeness and the pilot wheel, that may be another indication it is a 1958, or 59. Other Pacer owners will chime in , I'm sure, and we may be able to build a case. Sometimes the early models, made at or just after a transition year, are hardest to identify. Yours could be the standard mistake, made in 58, or 59, then sold in 60 and registered as a 60. I'm waiting for other Pacer owners to come to the rescue. Bill Scott 61 Bambi
We have a 1960 Pacer #SS0 382 No fancy plate with a picture tho. It's 16 1/2 feet long single axle We were told they made around a hundred of the puppies.
