I have a couple questions about my 72 Road Runner. First off on the fender tag there is a Y16 sales bank code. What exactly does that mean? And also is there anything else on the tag that is of any significants.

In an attempt to compete with the output of Ford and GM, Chrysler would build cars whether dealerships needed them, or were full. If a car was built with no place to go, they would be stamped Y16 and sent to a large holding yard of cars until I was needed by a dealer. Not an important option really.
