| Hello 1958300
G1 = Light Package
H2 = Torqueflite Transmission
J2 = Power Brakes
Q1 = Air Conditioning including Heater
T1 = Solex Tinted Glass in all window areas
V1 = Stone Shields and Sill Moldings
W1 = Undercoating and Hood Pad
X2 = Outside Rearview Mirror with Remote Control
Z2 = Radio Golden Tone, less Rear Seat Speaker
SHIPPING ORDER = 0131 1194 = 194th Car built on January 31, 1962
BDY = 824 = Chrysler 300 4door Hardtop (non letter)
TRM = 315 = Red Cloth and Vinyl Upholstery
PNT = PP1 = Festival Red, Paint Scheme Monotone
In my opinion, the optional engine code should be numbered below letter N on the tag:
5 = 380 HP Engine
6 = 340 HP Engine
Blanc = Standard 305 HP Engine (which You have…)

Location: Suwanee, GA | Igor,
You seem to be a wealth of information. Might you have further info on the fender tag from my 62 Chrysler New Yorker station wagon? Am I correct for the info highlighted in yellow? My car has all of these options, but I'm not sure if I have them in the correct order.
H2 = TorqueFlite K3 = power seat??? Q5 = Heater w/defroster R2 = tailgate entry assist handles??? W1 = Undercoating and hood pad X2 = New Car Service; Outside rearview mirror w/remote (or is this standard with New Yorker?) Z2 = Radio Golden Tone, less rear speaker (or is this standard with New Yorker?)
1223 1022 Shipping Order December 23, 1961 BDY 879 Town & Country Wagon, 9 passenger TRM 423 Cocoa PNT WW1 Oyster White Thanks, Robert |

| Hello Ev's62Chrysler
You are absolutely correct…
K3 = 353 = Power Seat Six Way – option for $101.90 (Power Tailgate Window 355 – standard on T&C Wagons)
R2 = 392 = Tailgate Entry Assist Handles - $17.30
New Car Service has code 651 and not stamped on the tag
X2 = 382 = Remote Control Outside Rearview Mirror - $18.00 – standard on New Yorkers, but has been stamped. It was optional even on 300G’s
Z2 = 362 = Radio Golden Tone ($92.80) less Rear Seat Speaker. Radio was optional for all models, Convertibles and T&C Station Wagons were not equipped with Rear Seat Speaker
Shipping Order, Body Number, Trim Code (all Tan Vinyl Upholstery) and White Monotone Paint are correctly too… |

Location: Suwanee, GA | Great, thank you for the info.
1958300 - didn't mean to hijack your thread. Can't answer your original question, but can only offer if you have the IMB card for said vehicle, I assume it'd be identified in position 50, Engines and Power Packages. |
