More people could help you if you gave us a few hints like the make and year of the FL car.

We're not all amazing Kreskin.

sure thing. it's a 1960 Dodge Seneca 2dr sedan
the SN is pretty straight forward (no pun intended)

she's a slant 6 3pd manual, built in St. Louis, MO
only factory option is reverse lights which I suspect was a dealer add on..

SO = shipping order 0415 = April 15 (so 1960)

Sequence number = 5214

BDY 411 = 2dr Dodge Seneca (which you knew) where 4 = six cylinder engine (511 was the V8)

TRM = 121 = going to be all vinyl but I am not sure what colours (but would guess two tone green)

The PNT = paint code

FF1 = Spray (green) Lower and Upper and 1 = Number indicates Two-tone,Sports-tone, Convertible top, etc. (but I don't know which,sorry )

PNT codes :

1 - (sales code 271) - monotone
2 - (sales code 272) - two tone - first colour is for the roof and the second for the body. On Imperial Custom and Crown - first colour is for roof insert and not whole roof.

The rest varies from year to year, but for 1960 -
3 - (sales code 273) - Sportone (Plymouth) - area behind the front wheel opening
4 - (sales code 274) - Roof Cantilever (Dodge 2 dr hardtops)
5 - (sales code 275) - Sweep Cantilever (Dodge 2 dr hardtops)


Convertibles were always recorded as being monotone, unless they had side sweep colours.

Convertible top information was recorded on the body tag. The codes for 1960 convertible tops -
331 - Black
332 - White
334 - Blue
335 - Terra Cotta

Any info on the #1 under the "A"?
That's all I really need to complete the puzzle...

Well, it's not for the back up lights - they're code 372. The 225-cid slant six engine is 359.

About the only thing left is the transmission - 3 speed manual - code 281.

By the way, a total of 306,603 1960 Dodge Darts were built in the U.S.A. Of that, 27,451 were 6 cylinder Seneca 2 door sedans.
