Hey litsnsirn,

My car was painted yellow like yours, but it's not documented on the back of the assignment card. It shows it was sold as a black & white. Wow, another of the rare ones.

Ron didn't "blow it apart" when he painted it back to black & white, so you can still see some of the traces of yellow paint on my car.

Also, my car was transferred as well. The in-service date was 03/28/83 but it looks like it was originally assigned to 440-Hanford and then transferred to 461-Los Banos to start duty.

Still no cable for my scanner. I'm tearing this house apart. Will get it scanned this weekend one way or another. If nothing else, I'll take it to work Saturday and scan it there.

Here is the card. I don't know why I can't go back and edit the original post.

and the back...

I believe a time limit on editing posts here.

Correct.

Thanks for posting up the scans of your card. Using this link...

...I found that CHP Office #440 is located in Hanford, CA, which is south of Los Banos (thank you Mapquest!)

Yep, got 'em both thumb tacked on Google Earth. So, can anyone help me decode this card?

Thanks for the photo resize, Mike. Sorry, I was at work and didn't have access to my editing software.

No prob...and I think that it's about as decoded as it's going to get. :)

Glad you got it.

C'mon, somebody's got answers...see the red question marks below. :)

1. Would 93904 be the mileage upon retirement?
2. I know the square with dot means slicktop, what about the "M"
3. Schedule # of 3-245?
4. Another "M" and not sure if that's just a smudge or a mark of some kind.

Also, for those with the in service dates on the red Zymo? label on the dash. Is the date form 03-28-83 or was the zero dropped for 3-28-83 like on the card?

1. Yes

The others: no idea. :)
