Buck tag info

I remember seeing in a post here that someone was looking for a breakdown on the bucktags (radiator support tag) and today I cam across a breakdown chart, although its for a mustang ours should be pretty similar.

The Birds and Cougs are probably similar, but I have seen "MOON" & "KEYLESS"(or was it just "KEY")on their tags which the Stangs never had...  Also the '88s have the build date of the car, not seen it on the earlier tags...Basically it's impossible to list all the possible entry's from only one tag...

Much of the info is a duplicate of whats on the warranty sticker on the door jamb...

Yep,it's stamped into the bottom of it with all of the numbers above.The Bird was at the metal s yard and I stripped everything I could from it (about 2 years ago) and grabbed the tag.Pretty cool.I figured it was to show the car for publicity.I miss the s yard,any car parts were $3.00 per 20 pounds of parts......any parts.NOT A BAD DEAL !!! I was going every two days when people would pull the cars across the scales for s and grab everything.They banned people from going in now.Man,I hate that.

Taking the time to build a car to be on display at a particular show seemed to be more common back in the day. I wonder how many of the regular production cars that are at shows today are permanantly labeled like this on the assembly line.
Most likely the buck tags were stamped as such so that they received extra attention on the assembly line in regards to build quality and probably most importantly to quality and appearance of the paint.
Here is one from an '86 Turbo Coupe.
