Have you looked up/behind the glove box, to seeif your car's Broadcast Sheet might be masking-taped there?
I really need to to see/find a 1956 B.sheet.

Location: bishop, ca | Philip, the hardtop models were known as "Lancers"
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!

Location: Magra, Sweden | Philip, do you have any picture before it was stripped down to bare metal? 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.

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?

Location: bishop, ca | Bill, and Philip, that "3" on Phil's inner fender almost certainly applies to that "-3" that you show, for a 569-3 paint scheme.
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.

Location: bishop, ca | And, the 1956 paint coding might have been so confusing, that a line supervisor was compelled to spell-out
precisely how that car was to be painted, on its inner fender/firewall area (at least, AFTER the
first finish coat was applied!!)
