Judging standards has the samples for 28-29 and 30-31. Yes your "1" will look like an "I"....not sure when the change was made. #s 6 and 9 were also redesigned.

On page 542 of the service bulletins there is an illustration of both styles of numbers used.

does anybody know of a web site that will tell the month and day a car is made by the serial number

 

[JBR]

Pluck's site will tell you the month and day you motor was accepted and passed at the end of assembly. Your car could have been assembled any where up to 3 months after that date. To my knowledge that is no way to narrow it down any more that that. Someone will correct me if I am wrong.
