hey everyone, today in my english class my teacher was talking about how nothing is made in america these days blah blah blah and was saying how cars made in america are better built than foreign cars and such. she also said consumer reports did a report on how cars that are made on monday's and friday's are made worse than on other days. she said it was possible to find out what day your car was made on, but after a google search ive come up short. anyone know how i could find out what the exact date my car was made? im assuming it involves my VIN number and such, ive also heard that fords have something called an oasis report? thanks for any help! this is just strictly out of curiousity. would also give me an excuse to get my car a "birthday" present every year lol

General Motors Fairfax Assembly Plant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I know my car was made there, Tuesday October 7th 1997.

Character/Meaning

1- Country of origin
2- Manufacturer
3- Vehicle type
4- Restraint or brake type
5, 6, 7- car line and body type
8- description of the engine
9-check digit
10- Year of the car
11- Assembly plant
12-17- Vehicle's "fingerprint". It's what differentiates it from all other vehicles.

Also details that. But how did you find the exact day/month of your car? Like my last 6 digits are 318245 but how do you translate that to an exact date?
 
Take your vin to the dealer and ask them to run it.

My Bonneville was made on 11/20/1996. Found out when looking for trans lines.
 
Should be an assembly sticker on drivers door ,might not have the day though prob just month n year.I have been building GM cars for over 28 yrs,There might be some truth to that on a Friday,and likewise for any other employment ,everyones looking forward to the week end with some day dreaming going on.I have seen crap built on wednesdays just as much.no ryme or reason.Dont sweat it.
