Location: Lower Mainland BC | I know nothing but I *think* PNT= paint = UXU seems to be paint codes, U, X and U where U = Bamboo Yellow and X = Ermine White so yellow roof, whiteish body and yellow accents?

Here is a white yellow white 58 Saratoga (maybe XUX paint code??)

In my experience there isn't a lot of decoding information resident on this forum. You will probably have to contact FCA Historical Services and fill out and send an info request form and send it in with $55.
Start with this and request the pdf of the application:

No one here could help me with my much simpler cowl tag. I've applied to Chrysler Historical Services and expect a response any day now (I submitted Jan 9th and people who sent their applications in on January 6th have info back already).

Here are some of your option codes:
303 6-way power seat
412 ?
334 Power Antenna
347 Instant heat heater
403 right side mirror
327 Rear speaker
441 Music master radio
302 power brakes
301 power steering

| BTW, I have a 57 Windsor that I might be selling outright, or parting out. In case you or someone in the Forums is interested.

Location: So. Cal | Could you post up a pic of your original fabric if you have one? I have 026 trim in my '57 New Yorker as well, and would like to see how similar it is to the '58 version. |

| some interior pics.
Looks like some old JC Whitney seat covers from the 60's? on the front and back, but you can see the original skins underneath

Location: So. Cal | Thanks. Your interior is in a lot better condition than mine. Looks like the gray vinyl is the same as the '57 version, but the fabric is quite a bit different. |

| SMS Interiors has what I need to restore the entire interior, maybe for you too?
I filled out a form, they sent me swatches of everything. Not cheap, but if you need it,
they got it. |
