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

[Edward Mills Antique Tractors <millserat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sounds right - YY1 would be a single color Saddle Bronze with or without 
a Vinyl Roof - if Vinyl Roof you would have a 6 or 7 under the Y on 
middle line of Fender Tag. - As I understand it, YS2 would be a Saddle 
Bronze roof over Ivory base.

YY5B on a 4dr New Yorker would be the other odd code where it had a 
small vinyl roof pillar accent (where B = Black vinyl)
