| Hi everyone. I have just acquired a 1962 Windsor 2 dr hardtop. I cannot find any information on decoding the fender tags on Canadian built cars. I realize that my car is one year too new for this site. I am hoping that there is a member who can decode the tag or point me in the right direction. Here is the info. Thanks in advance for the help. Mike in Winnipeg mike68@mymts.net
Model S-C-1-L-23
Body No 145
Paint code XX
Trim Code SBR |

Location: Hay Lakes, Alberta, Canada | Hi Mike. Welcome! Your car is an honorary member, as it is essentially the 61 model, minus the fins.
I can't decode the model designation, as I don't have a '62 parts manual in my library. But your body number means that it was the 145th 2 door Windsor off the Canadian line that year.
And I believe that XX designates white colour...but I could be wrong. Wait till an expert chimes in.  |

Location: Lower Mainland BC | Not sure if this helps or not. I am learning that Canadian paint codes are not necessarily the same as the US ones.
