Someone did a very nice job with the W29 striping, including hood. Yeah, the CS on the sail panel is wrong but it would be a real pain to redo the roof just for that. Very presentable looking car. Does the car have documentation? That would be a nice touch to add to the sales listing.

Johnny,
I'm a bit confused by the data on the production you posted. I get that it's a 72 and it's a Lansing build. The broadcast card doesn't show W29 in box 12 so we know the stripes were a PO's addition, either thru dealer or body shop. They did a great job on it from looking at the pictures.
What I'm confused by is the VIN sequence showing 139607 and the broadcast card showing production at Nov 8. We know that Lansing would crank out a car about every 60 seconds or less and they would have at least 2 shifts running for the start of early production, which started in the first week of July. That means they should be producing about 900+ cars a day for the first 2 months. VIN sequence is assigned at the final assembly line and always starts at 100001 each model year. You've got my curiosity going now - wondering how they would go to November 8 and only be at unit 39607 in a high production effort to fill dealer orders. My car started it's life at Lansing FBW on April 7, 1972 and was scheduled for final assembly on April 10; it's sequence is 208783. That's 69133 more in VIN #s in the same amount of time when higher production had ramped down somewhat. You've got an interesting car with a story I'd love to hear. Just a thought - does the broadcast card matches the body number on the cowl tag? If it is a match, the car should also have a 350 2bbl as this was standard offering on the 72 Cutlass S.
This should not in any way affect your sale - the car looks wonderful and IMO seems worth what you're asking.

Allen when did the strike in 71 end? I know that's why the production numbers were down for 71 and also why the model changes that were originally slated to be released in 72 got pushed back to 73.

It actually was in 1970 and lasted 67 days. Started September 14, 1970. You can do the math from there. It didn't last into 1971 but did manage to delay the colonnade entries as you stated.
