We are restoring a 1938 Chevrolet Cabriolet and our upholsterer is trying to identify trim code 73 on the trim tag. The information off of the trim tag is as follows:
Style No 38-1067
Body No F 2563
Trim No 73
Paint No 231

Any help is appreciated!

STYLE = 1938 MASTER CABROILET

BODY NUMBER = 2563th BODY MADE AT FISHER FfLINT BODY PLANT.... ALL OPEN CAR BODIES
MADE THERE AND SHIPPED TO FINAL ASSEMBLY PLANT

TRIM = BOWN LEATHER AND LEATHERETTE INTERIOR

PAINT = BLACK WITH RED BODY AND WHEEL STRIPE.

THERE WERE 2787 1938 CABROILETS MADE IN 1938 SO YOURS WAS ONE F THE LAST ONE.
FOR THE ASSEMBLY PLANT AND MONTH ASSEMBLED POST YOUR SERIAL NUMBER - X OUT THE LAST THREE NUMBERS IF YOU WISH.

Gene that car is mine. I have every thing done on the car except the interior. I'm glad to see that he is reaching out to the VCCA for advice.

the arm rests are about the correct color for the interior.
