If you've got the VIN plate, you should buy a copy of the factory's IBM build card copy, as you'll see at the top Sticky-message
on this board.
This IS an unusual color combination; very attractive!

Would love to see the color combo.
I've got a couple of b/w pics of a 4-door Lancer seen in Sweden back in the early 80s but no longer in the Swedish registry.

I really need to to see/find a 1956 B.sheet.
Although there is no "369", there is a "569-3" :
Roof - Jewell Black
Sweep - Garnet Metallic
Lower - Chinese Rose
"569" itself is :
Upper - Garnet Metallic
Lower - Chinese Rose
Adding "-2" means it would have a Jewell Black roof. Perhaps that is what "SP 2" refers to?

Are there any OTHER "69" paint schemes listed on the 1956 paint codes????
If not, and if there were only 3-digits provided for, for ALL the color schemes on the P/T plate, under the "PAINT" column,
it would make (some-) sense that a "569" scheme might morph into a 3-69, or, "369" meaning a 3-tone paint scheme, and,
that the "SP" code with a "2" might designate the black painted roof.
If so, it's a little unfortunate that the factory might have chosen a "2" to designate a black color, because in almost all other
color-code instances, the factories have used a "1" (or, an "A") to confirm a black finish. Otherwise, I would have guessed
that that "2" would have designated a white-finish.

precisely how that car was to be painted, on its inner fender/firewall area (at least, AFTER the
first finish coat was applied!!)
