Often time the info you want will be in the shop manual for your car. I bet a reproduction shop manual is available for your car. The first thing that I buy for a new (to me) car is a shop manual.
Unfortunately, the shop manual will only help you with the series - those are listed in there - and the body number "BC" - BC is the plant and the 965 is the sequence of production As for the trim no. 16 and the paint code, you'll have to find someone that has a '52 "fabrics and colors" book - pretty hard to find. SMS Auto Fabrics should be able to help you with the Trim Code - they'll send you a color copy of the original dealers book - but, the paint code, I'm not sure. Other than that - the ACC is left blank - so no "major options" are on the car (i.e. power windows, etcc) I know it's very little, but hope it points you in the right direction I'm going to see if I have a '52 manual - have a few around, but not sure about '52

You're welcome. I've got the shop manual. If you've got a 52, you really need to pick up a manual. HellRaiser
