Re: [Chrysler300] paint code on a '66 300 hdtp

[Edward Mills Antique Tractors <millserat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

YS2  - Normally the code ending in 2 would be a 2-tone - not a vinyl 
roof car

Per Galen's 66-68 Production Option Code Book
Y = Bronze Metallic Chrysler no BAY2T6
S = Pale Yellow Chrysler no BAY1Y1

 From Original Chrysler Trim Book
Y = Saddle Bronze,  S = Ivory
Interior would have likely been M1N Black & White Vinyl basic interior 
or optional M3X Black Leather buckets or possibly M4T tan, M4W white or 
M4X black vinyl buckets

Old Ditzler / PPG list: Y = Saddle Bronze Metallic number 22538; S = 
Ivory number 81501
Old Dupont chart: Y = Saddle Bronze Lucite 4765L / DuLux 181-97808; S = 
Ivory 4764L or 93-97807

If It had a factory vinyl roof, you had 2 choices code 306 black or code 
307 white and on line under the row of capital letters, there should be 
a 6 or 7 under the Y. 6=black, 7=white. No Gold vinyl roof from factory 
- per both Galen and my Factory Trim Book.

I think I can decode the whole fender tag if you send me a photo off line.

best, Ed
