Regarding font.

The change from large to small font radiators happened early in the 1969 model year build.   I have had two early build A12 cars, one was one of the first 12 made in March of 1969.   It had small font.

Make sure you understand "early" in the production year in the automotive world is completely different than the calendar year. Anything after January is considered practically midyear. In my '69 Charger 500, which was built prior to Jan. 1969, the radiator is the big font. Same number, just big font. An "early" production car would be something built from say, the 2nd week of Aug toward a couple of months afterwards.... ( Sept or Oct )...

March for an A12 is "Early" AB......I think that is what he meant...... :2thumbs:

Yeap, I agree.. Any of the speciality mid-year cars would be just that.....
