M37's delivered in 1960

[Roadtrooper63]

Hello all,

Lurking around various M37 topics on the net, I keep running across production info stating that no M37's were delivered in 1960. My data plate shows a delivery date of 12/23/1960 and the VIN on frame starts with T245. Does anyone else have any info on this?

None were "Delivered" but 1961 "Model year" ( as compared to Calender year) went from July 1960 to June 1961. According to the book a 1961 "Model" vin# ( located on frame behind the left frt tire) should start with 2661, 1958/59 started with L245

I understand the concept of a fiscal year, but a delivery date is a delivery date. Mine starts with a T245 on the frame and has an unaltered data plate which, besides the T245, matches the rest of the frame numbers.

OK RT so you have a 37 that was delivered 8 days before the new year.
T245 also happens to be the engineering symbol/designation for the M-37. What are the rest of the vin #'s on the frame
