Can someone tell me the date ranges for these series letters? I think I
understand that "C" is 61 to 68, "B" is before, and "D" is after, until the
end of the light line, but what's the complete story? Since my favorites,
the "C" series were designated "A", "B", & "C" in each subsequent model
year, I've always been confused about this.

Barn doors rule. I wish they had been the standard instead of the option.

Thanks for "chiming in", Allan. Glad you did.
