The following 9 cars were ordered by Canadian dealers,
and were equipped with Canadian requirements:
VIN numbers: 722206, 722223, 722237, 734968, 734971,
735828, 736753, 736767, 736770
1,315 Collectors Editions were shipped & sold in the USA
Going by the VIN, Sandy "Sandyboy" Block's car would be
the 184th from the last, and Alexander Sosiak's car
built on the last Friday would be the 77th from the
last. The build sheet on Alexander Sosiak's car shows
that the car was started on Tuesday June 23, 1998 at
07:08:48. It is unclear what this discrepancy means.
It would be great to hear from other Collector's
Editions owners to see if their build sheet date
corresponds with the above table. The build sheet is
usually located under the carpet in the rear passenger
compartment. It is easily accessible if the lower part
of the rear seat is removed. The lower part of the rear
seat can be removed by pushing it back and then up.
Please send the information to the webmaster.
We thank those at Lincoln Division of
Ford Motor Company for locating and sending this
information to Sandy Block. Sandy Block compiled this
information and Alexander Sosiak formatted it.
