Can anyone decode the build date on my 1965 Imperial ?

Sharp car!

No. But the scheduled date is 504 or May the 4th (Star Wars day) on the left bottom row. The scheduled date is an administrative marker and, typically, unrelated to actual production. Your car could have been built weeks before or months after that date.

One way to help determine assembly date is look for original date coded components.
 
Beautiful automobile, and loaded!:wideyed:

Could it be May 1964 or May 1965?
It’s a real original 20,000 mile car

Where are the build sheets "typically" located on this car? A cell phone camera directed under the front seat may locate a build sheet and some additional information.

This is one beautiful car - very envious. I have had a few large black cars, so not so maybe not as envious on the upkeep ; )
 
I pulled the front assembly out since the foam has deteriorated and found no build sheets.Nothing under the rear seat either.What I did find is that the carpets are totally original, high pile and like new.
