I was wondering if someone knows what paint code 1127 is and trim code KBH is .Thanks for the Help.
1127 is a two tone combination, with roof, fins and lower colour done in colour code 11 - Icecap White - and the saddle section on the body in colour code 27 - Sunset Red. Three tone colour combinations were digits beginning with `3`.
Icecap White is a Canada-only colour being CPI (Ditzler) code W8134. Cannot locate any American make that used Ditzler 8134.
Sunset Red is an American colour with CPI (Ditzler) code 70693. It was used on the US-built 1957 Chrysler, paint code P, called Gauguin Red.
Do not have much information on the interior codes, but the KBH used grey carpets, grey headlining and grey instrument panel. Later years had the colour as the second letter in the code, but that does not seem to hold for 1957 all Custom Royal codes are either KB- or KD-. The main interior colours were blue, green, grey, and brown or beige.

Location: Ontario, Canada | I think the style was the same as US Royal but I think the specific vinyl and cloth were CDN. I know when I bought NOS gray KBH cloth it showed in the upholstery book as being CDN.
Not sure about the shade of red as compared to US.
In my opinion, KBH was a very unexciting and blaaaah! looking interior!
