The General Assembly Sequence Number is really what we want for this.

But it was not necessarily preserved or available, so we use the VIN for the next best approximation.

It's funny but nobody in the assembly plant cares about the VIN. It's just another part to be put on the correct vehicle, like a tune up label or Mulroney window sticker or SPID. The GA sequence number is the gold source when referring to a particular build.

But, once it leaves the plant, it's all about the VIN. Because it's all they know and have access to, typically.
