    The joke is on me! [​IMG]

    My bad. V-4 is also a 1950 date code. V-3 and V-4 were the first. I saw the code and just jumped on it. After some research I realized it was a '75 Super Speed. "V" was also used 25 years later. I wish that was my Birth Year!

    So you are closer to my age. The joke's indeed on you. I thought W was the first code, 1951. http://gillettedatecodes.com/
