I’ve read in  several places that final assembly assigned VINs, not Fisher. 
 These are  a few references I could quickly  locate:


Thanks, Dave,
Something just doesn't ring true tho. Logic would certainly tell us that  
the VIN went on before the windshield. Besides the VIN would certainly have 
been  determined and known by Fisher. There was no option information or 
other details  in the VIN which contained just body information. It had to be 
installed before  the windshield went on, wouldn't it? What could have been a 
reason for adding  the VIN during, or after, final assembly?
