1967 VIN Breakdown (U.S.)
Do not confuse the Vehicle Identification Number plate information with that found on the Fisher Body Number plate (trim tag). The series depiction on the VIN plate does NOT have the meaning as the Fisher Body Number plate.
The Vehicle Identification Number plate (VIN) has similar information to the trim tag such as the model, year, and assembly plant. One difference is the last six numbers relating to the assembly plant sequence as opposed to the trim tag's Fisher Body sequence and the series will designate a 6-cyl (odd 3rd digit) or V8 (even 3rd digit) on the VIN plate where the 3rd digit on the trim tag does not.
A typical 1967 Chevelle VIN might read: 138177B101265 being an SS396 2-door sport coupe assembled in Baltimore, MD. DD was initially to be used by dealers for "Delivery Date" but few were stamped. Why more were not stamped is simply speculation. Maybe dealers simply opted to not stamp it since the dealer paperwork would show delivery date or maybe they found their new car prep personnel were stamping them too hard and damaging them. Whatever the reason, few were stamped as should not be a concern. The VIN plate was riveted to the A-pillar on the driver side with unique 'rosette' rivets.

Production Number
The sequential starting number
for the 1967 Chevelle was 100001 at all U.S. Chevelle assembly plants.
Each assembly plant sequenced Chevelles of all series/models without
regard to specific series/models. For example, if a series 13435 station
wagon followed a 13667 Malibu convertible, the sequence number would
be one unit higher for the wagon. It's also entirely possible to have
the same sequence number from all five 1967 U.S. assembly plants with
the only difference between the VINs being the plant code.
Production at the Kansas City and Baltimore plants exceeded 100,000 units sometime in early June so the VIN sequence from that time frame to the end of production would be 2nnnnn for each plant.
* The El Camino is not a separate series nameplate but rather a body style in both the 300 Deluxe (33/34) and Malibu (35/36) series although it's often listed as such. The base (33/34) El Camino Deluxe is a 2-dr sedan pickup body style with 300 Deluxe trim where the (35/36) El Camino Custom is a 2-dr sedan pickup body style with Malibu trim. The SS396 series Chevelle sport coupe and convertible (13817 and 13867) were the only two models to come standard with the 396 V8 engine and only the 134/136 series El Caminos could optionally order a 396 V8 engine. The 396 V8 engine could NOT be ordered in any other series or body style other than the SS396 sport coupe or convertible or the 134/136 series El Camino.
Notes:
One source reports there were no Chevelle 300 Deluxe series (133/134)
Chevelles for Canada in 1967, only the Chevelle 300 (131/132) and the
Malibu (135/136) series while other sources indicate the 300 Deluxe
series was made in Canada in 1967. A couple of series & body styles
were offered in Canada that were not available in the U.S. There was
a 131/13267 Chevelle 300 convertible and 131/13235 station wagon. The
Malibu SS was discontinued early in 1967 with the availability of the
SS396 series. See the
Canadian-built
Chevelles page for more information.
