There are two STYLE-TONE schemes. I am not sure at this point if the 2 in the code differentiates the two STYLE-TONE SCHEMES.



The chart is from JERRYS CLASSIC CARS to give credit where credit is due.

Now is this car a survivor or restoration. Is it a driver or mostly show?
Thanks for the clarification on the paint scheme code.

It’s a driver — repainted in 1996. Someone put seat covers with incorrect pattern but door panels carpet & headliner are original. Engine doesn’t appear to have ever been out of the car. No way to know for sure, unless opened up. Still runs very well. Floors are original rust-free and still have factory overspray visible. Dad’s owned since 1979. No documentation before he got it. Would be cool to know what dealer it was sold new.
