Sneak Peak at Trim Tag Decoding Document

Ok all you gurus, been working on this off and on for a while now. I used a Tri-5 Chevy document I saw and thought we need this for the '54-'56 Olds. This is my first draft at a '55. May try to expand for '54 and '56 and make one larger document. Trim codes and paint codes varied year to year. Anyway, let me know your thoughts.

Very nice job on the cowl tag decoder for the Olds.

I enjoyed surfing your website too; although, I must admit that I have never heard of a Ford Falcon (Norma Jeane) referred to as a Baby Bird. To my knowledge, Baby Bird is a nickname for the first gen T-Birds (55-57), not the Falcon.

Thank you!, yeah my wife calls it that and I was not going to argue with her. It's her car so she gets to do whatever she wants! LOL
At least the Falcon is a bird and its tiny, right?

That's awesome.
These should be available for every year Olds!
Sounds like a good idea for a book, maybe?

Yes, I am working on '54 and '56 (2nd Generation), still compiling data. The dealer brochure with trim colors and other items is good to have, albeit I have most of that from other sources now. The idea will be Page 1 will be '54-'56, then there will be separate interior color/trim and exterior color pages for each year. So it would be 7 pages total. Once I finish, I would be happy to host a 1st Generation Super 88/98 document for '49-'53. Then onto to 1957 and later.
