If only I could find some of that fabric, I'm taking interiors this semester in college and could redo them correctly! | ||

The red circles shows an example of how to see the codes. I'll try to get a better picture of the tag today. One of the previous owners painted the entire engine bay that weird green you see in the picture. Do you know what any of those options are off the top of your head? Jacob | ||

Location: Under the X in Texas | Take a picture of the BACK SIDE of the data plate and then invert it in your photo software. Go over the back with some fine steel wool first and it will be even better. | ||

Veteran Posts: 161 Location: Pearland, Texas, McPherson, Kansas | Here is a much better picture. Unfortunately one of the screws is sized and stripped so this is the most it will come off without me cutting it. On the second and third lines, farthest to the left, the 2 numbers are 3 on the second from the top, and 5 on the third from the top.

I would expect that was a glove box light, trunk light and underhood light. Maybe the dash map light too if that wasn't standard in a Windsor.

Yeah, I have all of those extra lights. Unfortunately, a previous owner took a can of blue spraypaint and covered the whole dash, including the lights, in paint. | ||

Veteran Posts: 161 Location: Pearland, Texas, McPherson, Kansas | Alright, So after a year of messing with this car, I have a breakthrough and now we have enough options to match with factory stamped codes. However, i still do not know which codes go with which options. We already know that 342 = Hood ornaments (the double fin things in the middle) 331 = Vanity mirror 311 = Light package (Windsors only) 337 = Torqueflite 341 = Undercoat 333 = Cushioned Dash 332 = Solex Glass 329 = Electric Clock 325 = Power Brakes and from a different post we also know that 361 - Power antenna (My Car does not have power antenna so this code does not line up for my windsor) 328 - Power windows 326 - 6-way power seat 343 - Fender ornament 349 - Dual headlamps 335 - Mirror - left outside rear view 334 - Mirror - Interior day/night 322 - Rear speaker 319 - Music master radio 323 - Heater / defroster 265 - Delivery route (factory to desler) 332 - Solex gass 325 - Power brakes This leaves codes 361 336 The other Options My car has are Power Steering Jiffy Jet Jacob Edited by J97_Imperial 2017-03-09 12:44 PM | ||

Veteran Posts: 161 Location: Pearland, Texas, McPherson, Kansas | Other than the two that i havent been able to deduce yet, this is how this tag should read 361 = (Power steering) 336 = (Jiffy Jet) 342 = Hood Ornaments 331 = Vanity Mirror 335 = Outside Mirror 334 = Day/Night Mirror 311 = Light Package 319 = Radio 322 = Rear Speaker 323 = Heater Defroster 337 = Torqueflite 341 = Undercoat 333 = Cushioned Dash 332 = Solex Glass 329 = Electric Clock 325 = Power Brakes And Regarding the 265, that showed the shipping Route was Factory to Dealer from what I have been able to find. Not Sure about A9 Now this is just a shot in the dark on those two options Jacob Edited by J97_Imperial 2017-03-09 12:47 PM (0112016142455-4-2-2-800x611.jpg) Attachments ---------------- 0112016142455-4-2-2-800x611.jpg (130KB - 180 downloads) | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 9667 Location: So. Cal | I am thinking that maybe 346 is a gas powered heater because the number is close to the A/C number. Do you know what the number is for the gas powered heater? | ||

Veteran Posts: 121 | 347 is for the Southwind gas heater on my '58 Saratoga | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 9667 Location: So. Cal | The light blue '57 New Yorker 4dr hardtop that John bought out of Montana has this gas heater option too. Most of the parts are still there, but the fiberglass housing is broken. | ||
