Simon and Ken,
I cannot get the codes to match

FC Utes with "Ivory" paint and Red trim show up as:-
50-648 Malibu Ivory with Fall Red Trim  - Paint Colour 6109
352-648 Cape Ivory with Fall Red Trim  - Paint Colour 2158

With the exception of a single Van(2104) code below, India Ivory - Paint Colour 7770 was a sedan or wagon colour

FC Van
173-652 India Ivory with Fall Red Trim  - Paint Colour 7770

Could you please check it out again.  My guess is the code is 352-648, but the stamping is hard to read.

        I just went back out to the ute the codes i entered are correct i re read the straight off the compliance plate this car is very original and unmolested except for the ravages of time and a discharged shotgun blast through the right rear floor area such was the life of a farm ute i hope this is of help Geoff
     Best Regards

Hey Geoff,

173 is the code for all-over India Ivory, which tallies with the paint code 7770.

648 is the trim code for a Fall Red interior fitted to a ute.

Looks kosher to me.

What is it about the numbers that you don't think match? ???

cheers

Guys,
My mistake, the numbers are correct. The color is part of the 1958 Color Range
(within the Car Color Specification Sheets issued by Holden, there are various dates of issue, and with the FC's more than one set of codes. This particular code is referenced in Section B, dated 8 July 1959, and I had missed it in the cross checking)
Sorry
