Enclosed is several photos of my 1960 Impala firewall markings after I have torn the car apart. I have done a good bit of research through this forum and CT and found out what several mean. The 1837 means 2 door sport coupe and the red after it means the dash is painted red. EZI means tinted glass but what does the X1 mean? It is listed on my cowl tag as ACC. Also I have found out that the last 2 digits of the trim and paint were put on the drivers side probably over the primer and under the paint. I can see the 73 very good and believe I see the 36 for Ermine White. But there is something else closer to the edge of the cowl. Also don't know what the 032 means written on the side of the passenger cowl? There is something written beside the heater box and just can't make it out. Then there is a W written in the center of the cowl. I didn't include a picture of the 083 written in red on the side of the drivers cowl hidden by the fender because I found that out. It must of been a sequence number as my car was the 93,083 car made at the Atlanta plant in 1960. Also what do you use to put these markings back after paint? Grease pencils and or crayons?
Also just got my car off the frame and did one cleaning on the frame and found the stripes on the springs from the factory. Will there be any more marking that I should look for before disassembling the frame? Thanks for any help.
