1970 El Camino Body Number Plates - Baltimore, MD. (B)

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

It is known that in 1970 Baltimore 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.

Various letters are found on the third line of the trim tag. These include:

B: B has been found on convertible and sometimes with D and sometimes by itself and does NOT indicate SS396 or SS454 but does not preclude the car being an SS396 or SS454.
D: D has been found on convertible, sometimes with B and sometimes with L, and is reported to indicate D88 hood and deck stripes but this has not been confirmed.
L: L has been found on El Camino
