Decoding 1955 cowl tag

I have a service manual but it is for a 1956 model and it doesn't match up.

The tag on the cowl:

Style No: 55-3069D

Body No: BK 1816 (Kansas City?)

Trim No: 393

Paint No: S51-60 (White-gray?)

ACC- "N"

any info is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jesse

Clik on this blue link. It will give you a little bit more information about your 1955 Ninety Eight Holiday Sedan. Not everything you wanted but it's a start. Maybe some of the members with these older cars will chime in.

Accessory "N" should be air conditioning.

Paint 51 should be Juneau Gray and 60 should be Alcan White.

3069D might be a 98 4 door sedan. It is for '56.
