Just paging through a few dealer invoices and billing cards I have here (probably a dozen) I find at least three codes not on Sean's list. I emailed him with updates.
What prompted me was a recent addition to his list almost at the bottom, about a guy ordering a car through the PX to take delivery when he returned from SE Asia. I had heard such things happened, but had not heard any specific stories. Reason this interested me was my 69 Sprint appears to be one of those cars, and I've been hoping to answer this mystery for many years.
Mine has two dealer codes. The "charge to" is code 79 001, which is GM Overseas Operations, located at 757 5th Ave NY NY. But the "ship to" code is 79 015, not on Sean's list. I never really noticed before, because my invoice is virtually unreadable, and in light of that (and apparently some early 69's still had a billing card) I received a billing card for that car. But even that document is pale, so pale that only the car-specific info can be read. The frame of the form is barely discernable, but not the little titles. When I placed it next to a couple of 68 bc's, I saw what was missing. I was told the car came from upstate New York by the guy Dad bought the car from, he was the father of the second owner and knew very little. Never met the actual owner. This was in 1975.
