To follow up on Bernie's comment below, my 1972 Chrome Paramount P-15 with red pin striping is SN K72335. I believe the K makes it an October 1972 frame. So, maybe the working hypothesis is the that pin stripe lady retired at the end of 1972 and had a great Christmas that year. Any more SN/pin striping data points out there? CR does not get any more exciting than this!

The lady who pinstriped the Paramounts retired in 1972. I have a first year non-pinstriped 1973 Chrome Paramount
