[AGM1955]

Hi My name is Andres I am located in So. California a bought a 1955 TBird around a month ago.

This is a very nice site hopefully I will pursue the restoration on the TBird and report as progress is made.

My first questions is: On the plate I was able to follow the plate decoder info. but have the following questions?

Serial # P5 FY 104535
1) Why after the F (Assembly Plant) there is a Y and what does it mean?

bottom part as follows:

40A A A9 LH 017

2) I believe the color is Raven Black is the interior white (trim color)?

3) What does it mean A A9 LH 017 I was not able to find the City LH and I believe the 017 is just a number from manufacture ?

Thank you very much for all the help in advance.
Andres

agm1955,

Are you sure that the Y isn't a "V", as the "V" would be the Body Style for a small bird?

Raven Black with white trim is correct. As for the rest, the code pages I have are from a parts supplier and nothing else lines up as to answering your questions. A search online for Ford Data codes should get you what you need. Good Luck!

Thank you very much for your answer. I will check again the VIN thus, most likely my mistake between the Y and the V.
