Hello hello:
I'm seeking GM documentation on the Trim Code for the Cowl Tag.
I have a 35-1209A, 1935 Chevy Standard 4 dr Sedan.
The Chevrolet Master Parts Price List-Six Cylinder Models-1929-1942 has on page 429, Supplementary Data, states that the Trim Codes are on page 471. My hard copy stops at page 470.
Can anyone provide GM source info on these Trim Codes for 1935? Does anyone have page 471?
Thanks

The 1940 parts book has no trim number chart but on page 311, parts group # 15.500 which is upholster material sold by the yard shows part number 4059564 as being for trim #47 and used only on a 1935 Stsndard 4 door with trim #47. A 1935 Standard 4 door is a body model # 1209A. Then there is another material shown for various 1934 and 1935 Standards including 1209A having trim number 0f 38.
If my memory serves me correctly the 1935 Standard has a herring bone design tan/brown mohair. Not sure if only the seats used that material or the seats and side panels.
The 1935 Engineering manual does not list an optional material for that model. The Masters had an optional broad cloth mater as an option but few had it.
The trim chart on page 471 shows 1941 and 1942 models only. Prior to that there were no trim number charts in parts books.

The 1929 - 1936 Body Parts List shows Trim 38, 46 & 47 as all being applicable to the 1935 1209A, but gives no indication as to what the differences could be.

Thank you, I really appreciate your prompt and accurate response.
My cowl tag, while damaged, I can see that the trim number must be 47.
My scraps of extremely faded interior cloth does show a wacky type of herringbone with a zig zaggy finish that suggests some type of checkering, very hard to describe. It could have been tan and a medium brown.
Thanks

That is the same material I had in my '36. Not made any more. Some fabric can be found at Lebonny Baron or Kanter both on the web. I did find a local upholster who was able to come up with a furniture fabric only available through professional sources that met specks.

The only way you could get a correct sample material is to find a 1935 CHEVROLET DEALERS SHOWROOM ALBUM, which should have paint chips and also cloth samples. Walter Miller in hemmings and also has a website ..= AUTOLIT ?? USED TO HAVE THESE KINDS OF THINGS AND PRICES WERE ON THE HOLY COW LEVEL. mike lynch

Mine was on the "Holy Cow" level. A hundred dollars is "no money" when it comes to fabric.
