Historical research question folks.
Realizing that Volvo Penta introduced the first AQ motor and drive combo in 1959, I have a question. In the decade of the 1960's, specifically 1963 to 1966, I am making the assumption that Volvo Penta operated on a calendar year for manufacturing date stamps. If that is accurate, is there any research available that shows if a Volvo PZNo. tag on the outdrive would link it to a specific year of manufacture? Even more specifically (a super long shot) is there a way to match a PZNo. to a month of production?
Any insights appreciated. Doing some research on a limited 110/100 package considered a race offering of sorts.
