68 Framingham A-Body???
Posted on Facebook. I've never seen one before. I thought Olds A-Body production started at Framingham in 70 after they stopped stopped making them in Oshawa.


The 09F was what I originally thought was weird (I totally missed that it was a Framingham car).....

Thanks for any help guys.. I just picked her up and I'm trying to figure out her history..I know who the original owner was, purchase date and other info but now trying to decode the mystery of the car. I know itvwas early due to the seals on the headlight buckets but i didn't know the rest of the story..

Yup, 1968 CSM confirms FRA as one of the A-body assembly plants. As for the 09F, I guess GM must have used Saturday as the first day of the week. Sept 1967 started on a Friday with the first, and ended on a Saturday with the 30th. If Friday was the last day of the week, then Sept 1, 1967 would have been 09A and Sept 30, 1967 would have been 09F.

OK but Kansas City, South Gate and Atlanta are all in the 68 CSM too and none of them where A-body plants, correct?

Page 0-1 lists the A-body plants (LAN, FRA, BF, OS) separately from the full size plants (LAN, BA, BK, BL, BC, ATL).

Is that a digital version or something? From my original paper copy:

Framingham started A-Body production in 1966. The plant code for 66 was 6G according to the PIM. I'm trying to get pictures of a 66 A-Body built in Framingham from a buddy.
