Can anyone tell me the name of the paint and trim for my recently acquired '53 Coupe.

I've attached a picture of the VIN plate - any info would be much appreciated.
Too many cars - too little time !!

Code 15 is :Norman Gray Upper
                   Court Gray Lower

There is no # designation in the reference book that I have which gives the "names" of the fabrics along with colors. Hope this helps a little. Barry

I would E-mail a copy of that body plate to SMS auto interiors. They exactly duplicate Cadillac trim. They can correctly identify the fabric and color.

Trim 51 is "Light Gray Figured Broadcloth with Dark Gray Plain Broadcloth Bolsters". That description is from a Cadillac source but I can't remember which one. Most likely from the Master Parts Book
