Elite Veteran Posts: 639    | . I am interested in decoding 1955-56 Chrysler Jefferson Detroit Plant body tags, but there are some gaps… 1955 and 1956 Detroit Cowl Tags are identical, only 1956 letter row added codes T, U, V and W… This example offered for sale on ebay… http://www.forwardlook.net/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=74247&... 1955 Chrysler Windsor Deluxe Four Door Sedan Serial Number W5572296 (W – Windsor Series, 55 – 1955 Model Year, 72296 – Consecutive Number) MODEL 25 = Windsor Deluxe Four Door Sedan PAINT 11 = Porcelain Green TRIM 11 = Green Dot Pattern Nylon Cloth and Green Nylon SCHED 601 = Scheduled on June 1, 1956 ITEM 0121 = 121th Windsor built that day A1 = Manual Antenna B5 = Power Brakes D4 = Radio Music Master (without Rear Seat Speaker) F4 = Heater G1 = Solex Glass – All Windows K5 = no idea S8 = Powerflite Automatic Transmission and Power Steering (3 – Powerflite less Power Steering, 1 – Manual Trans less Power Steering) Does anyone know something about K5 code? I am guessing this is Accessory Group 5 = Safety and Custom both (1 – Safety only, 3 – Custom only) Am I correct about trim code 11? What the code H mean exactly? Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Elite Veteran Posts: 639 | . The 1956 New Yorker St. Regis IBM card posted for decoding by «Bporter» a year ago… This car has same model, paint, trim; it was scheduled (built) on same day (SCHED 026) with car described above, has nearer ITEM (1372 vs. 1376) and has BODY NO (1866 vs. 1872) Decoding the IBM card (available in this link as well): http://www.forwardlook.net/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=71717&... Upper Row: 46 = MODEL AND BODY TYPE = New Yorker St.Regis 2 Door Hardtop 309 = PAINT = Cloud White upper, Regimental Red lower and Raven Black roof color colors 21 = TRIM = Medium Gray Brocatelle and White Leather 1 = DRIVE = Left Hand 026 = SCHEDULE NO. = 26th day since 1956 model year production is beginning (same in lower left corner of pic. – OCT 4, 1955) 1376 = SCHEDULE ITEM = 376th car built that day Bottom Row: 3 = TRANS = PowerFlite 2speed Push Button Automatic Transmission 1 = GEAR RATIO = 3.36 to 1 Rear Axle Ratio (standard on the New Yorkers) 7 = RADIO = Hi-Fi Phonograph, Radio MOPAR Model 844 Music Master (6 push buttons) and Rear Seat Speaker 1 = ANTENNA = Manual 4 = HEATER = Conventional Type, Hot Water ACCESSORY GROUPS: Safety Group (not stamped – it is a standard equipment on the New Yorkers) which includes: Lights – Automatic Rear Door Switch Lights – Back up Light – Glove Box Light – Hand Brake Flasher Light – Luggage Compartment Safety Cushion Dash Panel Windshield Washer Prismatic Mirror 3 = Custom Group: Custom Steering Wheel White Side Wall Tires Rear License Plate Frame Inside Prismatic Mirror 5 = Convenience Group Sun Visor Vanity Mirror Solex Tinted Glass Left Outside Rear View Mirror 9 = Power Group Power Steering only. The car is not equipped with Power Windows and Power Seat. Power Brakes is standard. 8 = TRACER = no info. A delivery route, probably. The owner had not cowl tag, so I can guess following info that should be there: MODEL 46 = Chrysler New Yorker St. Regis 2 Door Hardtop PAINT 309 = Tri-Tone Paint Scheme: Raven Black roof, Cloud White body above contour molding and Regimental Red body below contour molding TRIM 21 = Gray Brocatelle Cloth and White Leather SCHED 026 = Scheduled: on October 26, 1955 «OR» 26th day since production began (need confirmation) ITEM 1376 = 76th New Yorker built that day (first 1301) A1 = Manual Antenna D7 = Radio Music Master and Rear Seat Speaker plus Hi Fi Phonograph F4 = Heater G1 = Solex Glass – All Windows (this item was included in Accessory Group #5 – Convenience) BODY NO. 1872 (if I saw correctly – Thanks to Dave «56D500boy») This car is not equipped with Power Seat and Power Windows; so «C» «E» columns are empty; If the Power Group would be designated «7» instead «9», this car besides power steering (PB – standard) have had power windows and seat, although these items stamped on the cowl tag separately… As same reason, the cowl tag should not have «9» above SPL-FO column on it (as on the previous example), I guess… or NOT?
