Can you shed any light on this VIN?

Think it means that is the first '94 EB off the kentucky line that year, and therefore possibly the very first EB from that plant . Please post the entire door sticker.

When the bar code is scanned, like at Walmart Auto, is it the same? If so, it is more than likely real. I do wonder why they didn't start with 00001...

Friggin cool!! Possibly the first Eddie ever I wish I could find 1983 ranger #1 and also 1984 bronco ii #1

Manufactured in August. It's just weird though, it's got to mean it's the first of something right? Lol

Looking into it more, thinking it would be the 500000th vehicle manufactured in the truck division in 94. Not positive though. Never found conclusive info for how the production sequence section is applied.

Definitely not as cool as being the first, but that's still pretty interesting. I appreciate you looking in to it

Think they made 500000 trucks by August of 94? Wow

Wouldnt surprise me if this Wikipedia is right. Explorers made up more than half, F150s selling strong, ranger etc

 

[410Fortune]

What does that show? Total units sold? Chart incomplete!!

 

[Fix4Dirt]

I think its sales? Its for the Explorers. So if that is true then maybe they did make 500k

My assumption is that the production sequence is for all vehicles produced in the truck division. Explorer, Bronco, E series, F series, Ranger, Aerostar.

The NHTSA records a '94 Eddie Bauer as having XL trim with front airbags?
