Fella on the 57 site clarified;
The 2 after the paint code is for the second formula for mixing the paint, "Coral sand" had 3 formula changers during the 57 model run.
Interesting that they changed paint formulas. Wonder if that changed the shade as well? Learn something new everyday.

Interesting. We now have one one poster with a different position.
Now I also need to find a 1957 FORD PAINT COLOR CHART...
I think we see now why FORD changed the PATENT PLATE STYLE.
