1953 Chrysler Windsor

[Guest Spunkyshell]

Can someone please tell me what these codes are? I have searched everywhere I can think of to decode these. Thank you!

Welcome to the AACA Discussion Forum. I have moved your post from the AACA Library Forum to the General Discussion Forum. Hopefully someone here will be able to answer your question. If not, we can try the Chrysler Forum a little bit further down the page.

Mr. Spunky, try Galen Govier.

I don't know him, but I have heard

that he is an expert on Chrysler tags.

 

Here is his internet site:  http://galengovier.com/

 

His website has a phone number, and the description

of his services sounds exactly like what you are seeking.

 

If you'd like to, post a picture or two or three of your Chrysler

so we can all appreciate it!  (And let us know what you

find out from Mr. Govier.)

My 1953 Chrysler Windsor:

 

Here is what a wise man said, in another forum about my SN plate

 

For the body tag -

Model - 25 - Windsor DeLuxe 4dr Sedan

Paint - 22 - Everglades Green Metallic

Trim - 16 - Seats are done in green cloth

Sched - 154 - Car scheduled to be built on the 154th of 1953 production

Item - 0258 - Believe the 258th car to be built that day

The rest are numbers for the options on the car - power steering, Fluid Torque Drive, radio, back up lights, etc.

You can order the car's build record from FCA Historical.  Not sure of the rates these days.  The build record will confirm the engine number for that serial number and the options installed on the car.

 

It would seem that you and I have the same colour car. Is yours a 2 door? Mine built on the 154th day of 1953. Yours on the 151st day of 1953.
