1969 El Camino Body Number Plates - Kansas City, MO. (KAN)

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

It is known that in 1969 Kansas City coded all trim tag style numbers with an even 3rd digit so the Fisher Body Style number is not a valid resource to tell if the car was a V8 or L6.

Various letters are found on the third line of the trim tag. These include:
X & Z: Sometimes just the X, sometimes just the Z, sometimes together as XZ which are found on 131/132xx Nomad series and 133/134xx 300 Deluxe series.
T & W: Found on a Concours optioned Malibu sport sedan.
L: Probably the most controversial is the letter L found on 300 Deluxe (along with X) and Malibu series Chevelles. It's strongly believed this letter L indicates external SS396 trim but this has NOT been confirmed by any direct knowledge or GM documentation. The letter L has been found on at least 1 non-SS396 optioned Malibu and at least 1 known SS396 optioned Malibu has been found without this letter L.  While using this letter as a way to determine if your 1969 Chevelle is a true SS396 or not is up to you, there is no 100% guarantee but there is strong evidence that it does.
