Today, 11/21/15 is #2631's 49th birthday, which means I've got 1 year to put my car back together, and make it drivable. Lucky for the both of us I turned 62 this summer, and the U.S. Treasury has started giving me back some of the money they have been collecting from me for more than 40 years.
How many other Tigers rolled off the line on 11/21/66? How many on 11/21/65? or in 64?

1966-11-21 Was a Popular Day for Tigers

How many other Tigers rolled off the line on 11/21/66? How many on 11/21/65? or in 64?

I checked the info in the Book of Norman. If I read it right, it did not list any Tigers coming off on 1964-11-21 nor on 1965-11-21. However, it did show quite a few Tigers with "No Records" that might have been completed around the 1964-11-21 date. Were either of these two dates a Saturday or a Sunday? That may explain why no Tigers were completed on those dates.

There were five Tigers listed as being completed on 1966-11-21. These are #2630, #2631, #2633, #2634, and #2636.

Good luck in getting your car back together and on the road before November!

Got Your Tiger's Birthday

Tim,

Per the Book of Norman, your Tiger's birthday was November 2, 1966. We expect to see some photos of the 50-year-old birthday girl (or do you consider yours to be a boy?) this coming November!

I just checked a web site called timeanddate.com, and 11/21/64 was a Sat. 11/21/65, was Sun. and 11/21/66 was a Mon. I see they built 5 cars that day. At least mine wasn't the first one of the day. I hope their hangovers were gone by the time they got to mine. I'm moving along with the fixing, but Ill post that stuff in the "My Story" thread. I am working on a project for NEW brake drums.

VIN Numbers Not in Order

Michael - The VIN numbers were not assigned when the car was completed. I am not sure when it was assigned to the Tiger tub, but in looking over the information in the Book of Norman, the completion dates for two cars with sequential VIN numbers might be differ by a month or even more.

Nice Thought

That's a nice thought, but the VIN order does not necessarily match the completion order. I don't know how one could find out the completion order of the cars with the same completion date. Of course, it could be your car was actually completed on the previous Friday, but the paperwork did not get completed until Monday.

Some might say that the lads in the factory did their best work with a hangover!

Just had a thought, weren't Tigers built on an assembly line? or were they done one at a time?
