There is no correlation between VINs and plate # order (e.g., cars were not run through assembly at Motor Transport by VIN#). They were received and parked in a huge lot in no particular order then pulled out in batches of no particular order and sent through upfitting where the plates were assigned by the order the cars were in on the line.
Plate assignment is different now and not in the hands of the Motor Transport techs. The vehicle certificates of origin from the factory are sent to DMV who assign plates to each one. CHP admin personnel then receive and put the plates on the proper cars before they ever enter the building for upfitting. That's how it was explained to us in April, right John?
