ID tag

[Eaton_FE]

I have found an ID tag off an old FC that I drove untill it dropped many years ago

Boby FC 225-15619-A
Trim 277-847
Paint 253-7700
Insert 253-7700
Top 253-7700

There is no engine No. or chasis No.

thanks for the info, grey and white sedan, although one of your paint numbers is probably 253-0700

My guess is the other number is 253-7770

Trim code shows it as Granite Grey over India Ivory with riff red & black interior

There are 2 codes for granite grey. 0700 is on early FCs whilst 7770 is on later ones.

Ken, my sedan is the mid paint scheme with the "C" pillar mould. The paint code of mine is 253-0770 Granite Grey and 266-7770 India Ivory. 7700 is the other code for Granite Grey. Also all my glass has the dot over the a, so this would make it a late 58- early 59.

Lots of confusion here mostly caused by me
Apart from forgetting the code for India ivory, i also made a typo in my response.
The 2 codes for granite grey are 0700 and 7700, therefore Geoff is right, the missing code on the plate is 7770
because as both Geoff and Jim say 7770 is the code for India Ivory.

Jim can you post a pic of your plate, it would seem yours must have been stamped wrong at the plant if it has 0770, I have never seen this code before.
