1971 Chevelle Body Number Plates ~ Oshawa, ON. (OS)

[ 1964 ] | [ 1965 ] | [ 1966 ] | [ 1967 ] | [ 1968 ] | [ 1969 ] | [ 1970 ] | [ 1971 ] | [ 1972 ]

It is not known if in 1971 Oshawa coded trim tag style numbers with an even 3rd digit for a V8 and an odd 3rd digit for an L6 so the Fisher Body Style number is a valid resource to tell if the car was a V8 or L6. Oshawa did code trim tags with an even 3rd digit for a V8 and an odd 3rd digit for an L6 in other years from 1964 through 1970 as well as 1972. No 1971 model year examples have been found yet or reported to the website.
