I had heard that on the 85 1/2s that one was cloth interior/ no sunroof. One was cloth interior w/ sunroof, one leather no sunroof and the one leather w/ sunroof. Is that still true? And these 4 were assembled on 7-31-85 and 8-1-85, the last days of the 85 model year? I had heard that these 4 were built and shown to Hertz in an attempt to get them to order more. Any truth to that? What week were the hertz models built?

    Cars are not built in order according to VIN sequence. You would have to compare actual build dates for each car AND either the buck tag rotations numbers to know if they went down the body & paint assembly line consecutively OR the build sheet rotations number to know if they went down the trim & chassis assembly line consecutively.
