We've usually seen grease pencil marks on the back side of front fenders on W-30s and W-31s (they say W-30 or W-31 for those who are unfamiliar). Has anyone ever seen grease pencil markings on the back sides of fenders of a non W-car?

 

Yes i just got through putting them back on my drivers fender on my 67. It has a blue 49, and a ?Z. I thought it was an N but my neighbor says its a Z. He by the way was a final body inspector the Buick Plant in late 60's/ early 70's, too cool! Also there is 1943 behind my engine side fan blower housing, an ?M OR W above the gas tank and an X and 943R3 above the hood insulating pad. The 1943 seen i already recreated in same yellow. No idea what it all means but i thought i would put it back on after paint, kinda cool i think. The paper tag on the inner passenger fender was a GM tag with part number i think, barely legible and very crispy. That fender had been replaced somewhere in this cars life, along with the pass. door and very damaged pass quarter which i replaced.

 

well that's neat steve. I have two other olds with marks on the hood, one of them has something on the core support. I was really only interested in fenders though.

anyone else?

 

Ok well the drivers fender has the marks mentioned

 

The fenders and the core support and hood were marked with the car sequence build numbers. Mine are marked as well on the 67 442.
