JoeT Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Hello! I have a 63 Wildcat convertible built in Canada and I am puzzled by the Vin# and other coding plates and numbers on the car. Can anyone provide some guidance as to how to decipher the Canadian codes? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 JoeT, you sure got a complete reply pretty quick here. I loved my Grandfather and have enjoyed driving his only new car for 59 years but I sure wish he had bought a Buick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeT Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 Sean1997: Thank you for your very detailed breakdown of the codes. I knew the car had once been red but I assumed it was Granada Red, not Solid Ember Red. Another piece of the puzzle solved. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
