CHP Total for 1985

[FoxChassis]

I'm showing 162 consecutive VINs with 72-0406 (CHP) at the beginning and 74-0637 (Oregon) at the end. The very last "confirmed" CHP on the list also happens to be the 154th on the list.

Not sure of how it would work with the DSOs and VINs but one thing to keep in mind is that California allows local agencies to "piggy-back" orders onto CHP contracts for CHP spec. vehicles.

That's a "piggy-back" for specs and pricing, and not the number of units ordered.

CHP did get a "T&E" car each year for inspection purposes. I'll go dig out the CHP documentation and see if the VIN is noted on the form for the '89s. If it is, and is consecutive with the others, we may have our answer.

No VINs on the CHP "Pilot" cars (thank goodness), but several docs that make mention of receiving the one car early. Here is one from '86....the letter says "please build item #5000 and hold for inspection."

One mentioning the need for a pilot car as soon as the award is granted due to interior changes ('90, airbag).

Ryan, that link was working earlier but it's not right now.

I see periods after the "/C". Every time I click or paste the link it says it is broken.
