Factory warranty-plate reference

Reference for reading the factory warranty / data-plate codes on a pre-1981 Ford — not proof of identity. These are the published factory tables for this year; a code reads only within its own year and car line, and matching a code does not confirm what a car is. Each line carries the confidence of its source.
