Here's a site that will likely have the answers. Just plug in the info or VIN and it should provide you with the missing info. http://classiccardatabase.com/search...le&series=8113

From the sounds of your info you have a 53 Series 88 Holiday Sedan (2 door). Sorry I don't have the trim or paint info.

Paint number# 42 should be Bimini Blue or at least it is on a 55, sorry I don't have any trim info for that year.....Tedd

Was just thinking about your car 51Super. Here's a link to USA Parts Supply - they have a lot of replacement parts for the older models.
