Location: bishop, ca | Ok.....Dallas: your Sierra 6-passenger wagon was built o.o.a. 5/9/57. and is all-Forest Green Poly (metallic)
with a green interior.
It has the TorqueFlite transmission , either power windows or Solex tinted/shaded glass(probably), undercoating,
a special sort of unusual-delivery to its selling dealership, maybe involving a boat(!), and it was built without
a OEM radio installed in it, but, it does have back-up lights, a left outside rear view mirror, a heater/defroster
(so, it wasn't delivered to a very warm climate), and the inside day/night mirror.
Being built in May indicates that it was probably well built--construction bugs worked out, by then--but, the most intriguing aspect is how it was delivered to its dealership!
It could/does have other interesting OEM options on it, probably, but they would only be shown
on the Broadcast Sheet (have you checked---carefully--- up/behind the glove box, to see if it is masking-taped there?)...and on the factory IBM Build card, a copy of which you can buy from the Historical Society, as per the instructions shown on the two 'Sticky' messages at the top of this message board.
Welcome aboard!

Location: Kennewick Wa | Thanks For The Information. I looked for the broadcast sheet did not find one. When I removed the interior I looked in the seats but found nothing there either. I think the (boat ride) may have been a Washington Ferry?
I found some old tire sales tickets in an envelope in the Glove box when I bought it. they were from 1959 a place on Whidbey Island? Found other tire sales from San Fransico Ca. Where the guy I bought it from said he got it.
Still puzzled about the paint. When I removed the roof rack to replace the roof, I found a Yellow color under the ribs. Guess it will remain a mystery. Thanks again, Dallas

Location: bishop, ca | A clue will be what color you're seeing, over-sprayed onto the inner firewall and the inner door panels/quarter panels
and in/around the trunk area, too---also, the engine side of the firewall should have the OEM color on it.
HERE's one, for you---remove the brake booster/master cylinder 'bracket' and look at the firewall behind it!
You'll see the OEM main-body color, there, in all of it's protected-from-Day-1-condition.
