Thanks Dick,
If it's anything like 70's cars, it may be a reference to the interior door
panels. Even on models that ALWAYS had them painted body color the fender
code would indicate the double code. The fender tags didn't always perfectly
match the option codes. Of course, I was going from memory and we all know
how dangerous that can be. If I didn't just drop a ton of coin on mine I'd
be tempted with this one being in Connecticut. Same interior color and
everything.
