1960 Chevrolet Impala convertible accessory decoding

[karlosdeville]

Hi guys,

 

A question for a friend's 1960 Chevy Impala convertible. From whatever I could find so far, the car was originally Ermine white, and built in Lansing. Trim is red/white.

 

I cannot decode the accessories mentioned:   1-P-481-XX 475. The car was ordered new for India.

 

P I believe is padded dash. Does this tell is the original colour of the top?

 

The engine is a straight six. What would be the correct shade of blue for the engine?

 

Looking forward to any ideas.

 

Thanks and regards,

Karl
