At some time in the past, this ad appeared and included some interpretation of a 300G 2DHT Data Plate: https://www.usedcarspot.net/d/1961-chrysler-300g-2-door-sport-hard-top-national-award-winner-specta/kkedrtadstkddztqddka or: http://tinyurl.com/lvvr9ss Picking out and parsing the posted list from the ad shows this: TRIM PLATE also referred to as DATA Plate REGION #73= San Francisco Dealer Code #: 09291= Reno, NVBerrmann & Wilson, Inc.

Another posting has the list below-referenced to a Sales Code list and is consistent with the list above—but more complete. I recently purchased a similar 1962-65 “Production Option Code Book”, published by Galen Govier and I’m guessing the posting below came from a similar Govier publication. http://www.forwardlook.net/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=17607 The posting also has similar lists for ALL 1955-1961 Chryslers! Check it out. Correlation to letter codes on a Data Plate/Fender Tag are not shown. Not all equipment on or in a car is shown on these plates. The Club service of interpreting the original IBM build card tells much more and a Track Sheet tends to tell all. All owners should check behind the rear-seat back for a Track Sheet which has all elements of the car shown. 1961 300G For the data plate in question, the numbers on line 4 and under the letters on line 3 tie together with the numbers generally being the last digit of a Sales/Option Code. A reasonable interpretation would be: Under SO = 0315 = Part of scheduling system—in date format = March 15, 1961—the approximate date of assembly (Beware the ides of March) Under NUMBER = 1179: the first digit 1 = Assembly Line 1 (?); the 179 indicates this is the 179th car to be assembled on this assembly line on the SO date. Under BDY = 842 = Chrysler 300 2DHT Under TRM = 833 = Tan leather seating Under PNT = PP1 = Mardi Gras Red. The same letter twice indicates the roof and lower body color are the same-as does the digit 1. A two-tone car would have different letters and a 2 after the letters. Speculation: The 1’s under letters N & V Could correspond to Solex tinted glass-all windows and A/C & heater. Taken in option-code order, the N1 would be A/C and V1 would be tinted glass. Tinted glass in all windows is often required for A/C cars. The 3 under the T could stand for power seat, Remote-control rear-view mirror or Golden Touch-Tune radio. The second list suggests the 4 under the P could be a power antenna. N1: 311 = Air Conditioning, Unit W/Heater P4: 324 = Power Operated Radio Antenna T3?: 293 = Power Front Seats T3?: 383 = Remote Control LH outside Mirror T3?: 423 = Golden Touch Tune Radio V1: 441 = Solex Tinted Glass (all windows) This can’t be a new question so I’ll bet others can clarify or correct.
