Gentlemen, here's mine. Info, and an example of the original color would be greatly appreciated.

GM style 56-1011
Body AG441
trim #566
Paint #691-A

part of the tag is covered in mud so I might have missed something.

thank you from Greenville, SC.

557B210,
Thank you for the great link. Alas my computer at home is almost as old as the car and I can't read PDF files (until tomorrow at work) Curiosity is/was killing me.

The AG does stand for Atlanta. The VIN and cowl tag are different. The VIN uses "A" only, the 1953-58 cars use AG on the cowl, 59-64 cars use AT on the cowl. All still use just the A on the VIN tag though.

Q,.... if the top was a different color, originally, (Indian ivory) where and how would I know for sure?

210bob · 12-22-2009, 02:30 PM

If it was originally a two tone India Ivory upper body and Nassau blue lower body the trim tag would show #707 for a paint code.
This is the same as my car in the photo at left.
