When was the LAST wagon made?

Yes, I know production of the B and D continued until December 1996. What I need to know is when the last wagon came off the line. Anyone know when, and what it was?

If you don't know, but have a 96, please run the VIN on the compine tool and let me know what the production date was.

For some reason December 12th is ringing in my head as the last day... But don't quote me on that.

the data plate on my drivers door says 10/95, but the VIN says '96

Yeah but the vin represents the actual model year. Ex, we have a Cobalt that is an '07 model year, but was made at the end of '06 according to the door tag.

Actually, I need to know when the last Caprice wagon was made...

Well, my theory is that the last of the Caprice wagons were actually made in calendar year 95. I've asked everyone I know who has a 96 Cap wagon (not exhaustive I know) to check the door sticker. All of them so far have been built in 95, late in the year. Likely just after the 95 to 96 changeover.

The 96 I just found was built on Sept 13th.

lol, no, not hoping. Going to look at one that the guy CLAIMS is the last one made. Apparently the previous owner has a letter from GM Canada saying that the car is the last Caprice wagon manufactured. Personally, A) I don't believe him, and B) I don't care. Just curious.

Well, you took the time to read it, didn't you?

This is a "discussion" forum. Some of us like discussing things.
