1968 Chevelle Protect-O-Plate Decoding Exterior Colors

EXTERIOR COLORS

Solid colors are noted with two letters for lower and upper color - example AA is black lower/black upper
* Vinyl top or convertible top color is noted with a letter for the lower body color and a number for the top material color. But, see caveat below for more information.

Code	Color	Code	Color
*A	*Tuxedo Black	L	Teal Blue
C	Ermine White	N	Cordovan Maroon
D	Grotto Blue	P	Seafrost Green
E	Fathom Blue	R	Matador Red

VINYL AND CONVERTIBLE TOP COLORS

Example A2 would be a black car with a black color vinyl or convertible top.

* Caveat: Not all P-O-P's are created equal. I have examples of Chevelles with KNOWN convertible and vinyl tops but the color is not specified even though the body color is and I have examples of Chevelles with vinyl tops that the P-O-P does designate the vinyl top color.

Code	Vinyl Top Color	Code	Convertible Top Color
1 or 6	White	1	White
2	Black	2	Black
		4	Blue
