1965 Chevelle Body Number Plates ~ Framingham, MA. (FRA)
[ 1965 ] | [ 1966 ] | [ 1967 ] | [ 1968 ] | [ 1969 ]
It is known that in 1965 Framingham coded all trim tag style numbers with an even 3rd digit so the Fisher Body Style number is not a valid resource to tell if the car was a V8 or L6.

* The letter "P" in group 4 is unknown. This letter appears on Framingham tags throughout the year. This same group 4 "P" code is also found on KC-built Chevelles in group 4 and possibly only in very early builds. Anyone with information on the option code meaning in group 4, please contact me via the Contact tab.
