Decoding a Ford Galaxie's Data Plate


Recommended Posts

Or as close as I could find. Moved this over from the thread in Not mine for sale to try to verify what I'm seeing.

 

In a nutshell, was wondering if anyone could verify that I've decoded this right. For reference, it's a Canadian built Ford (or so I was told) so the usual sites that decode these are all wrong, but this is what I found so far.

 

If I'm translating it right, this is what I got for the meaning

IBB - It's a point code according to this site (http://www.mercurystuff.com/1960-61-canadian-vehicle-identification.html), might be black? Which is annoying as it's rangoon red (which is IRR)

647 - Trim Red for a Galaxie 500XL
JB - Galaxie Sedan packing a 390 CID with an auto tranny

476B - Galaxie 500XL Convertible

63L - Oakville plant in 1963

 

Anyone more knowledgeable then I have any thoughts?
