The paint code generally consists of a 3-digit number. The exception is Kansas City convertible, then a 4th digit is added to denote the convertible top color. Baltimore convertibles do not show a convertible top color and Van Nuys will show the convertible top color immediately after the trim code.
For convertibles built at the Euclid plant destined for either Atlanta or Kansas City, the convertible top color immediately follows the TRIM code.
