MargaritavilleBuick Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I recently purchased a 1936 Business Coupe and in the process of identifying parts and getting a game plan moving forward. Attached is a picture of my firewall plate....any references for these codes? The only thing I have so far is that the interior was brown Bedford corduroy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pont35cpe Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Look close, looks like the 2 is there, just not highlighted like the others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MargaritavilleBuick Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 Thanks for the insight. The only thing I hate is the grey metallic....not my favorite. I was told the present color scheme was original and was hoping to go back with it. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
