A74 code on 1970 senior Dodges (and A71 A75 A76 too!)

[CBODY67]

Not to be flaky, but that "Brougham" name plate and wreath on that car (first thought when seen) was that if was from a similar model year Ford LTD Brougham model. Whereas the 1970 Monaco Brougham only had the words in fancy script. Much more subtle on my '70 Monaco Brougham, by comparison.

The pictured car is very nice and unmolested.

I think we have a winner. Look at the following Ford sail panel logos / scripts / emblems / wreaths:

1970 Ford Torino Brougham, from Curbside Classic:

1970 Ford LTD, from GR Gallery:

1970 Ford LTD Brougham insert, from eBay:

Put the #3 script inside the #2 wreath, and you get what we see on DL43L0D287822:

Not the same. The logo is attached to the wreath on the Torino. Not so on the LTD or on this Polara. I think @CBODY67 hit the bull’s eye

Indeed, you did not say anything -- "just" posted the link to the eBay ad and a photo

Joke aside, thank you!

Back to our regular programming: has anyone seen the A74 code on a window sticker and/or build sheet of a senior 1970 Dodge?

@cuda hunter @69CoronetRT @kmccabe56 @marko @boostedvan @71Polara383 @polara71

Here is the window sticker of DM23L0R150002 -- an FY6 Polara Custom that was registered on October 29, 1969 per the docs:

My DM23L0R - no A74

 

[71Polara383]

DML0D124119. Belvidere built 1970 Polara Custom - A74 on the Tag.

Note mid September SPD and still has a fratzog bumper. Must be towards the end for those.

Thank you for posting DM23L0D124119 -- very cool EA9.

Question for @polara71 -- are you aware of any 1970 Polara with such a late build date that has @Fratzog bumpers?

It's been a while. If my old guy memory is still good we presumed that mid September was the cut off date and around September 11 was the last car.

Thank you. So the SBD of this car would add 4 days to that 9-11-1969 cutoff. @69CoronetRT

We probably had a car of later September build that didn't have a Fratzog and September 11th was the last car, which made us determine mid month.
Probably.

Progress... you are setting the bar already.. I registered on B bodies not sure about A bodies. Im only on those sites if a internet search takes me there. Maybe ill try to sign in.

I must be thinking of another member over there. My mistake.
Regardless, congratulations on the purchase of an awesome looking car.
