    Was just playing around with identifying my cowl tag. Can't find in one spot a really good resource.

    1) I think the original paint code is "57 Antique Gold Irid". Anyone have a car with this color and would like to share pics?

    2) I think the trim is black with the 138 code.

    Anyone know off hand what the original convertible top color was? or any help identifying the rest of the info would be great.

    Thanks

    You are correct, 57 is Antique Gold, 138 is black. Top color indicated by the "B" after paint code should be black.

    Cool, thanks... nice looking GS.

    Anyone else know what the

    05C is third week of May. A52 is the seat code but I don't know what it correlates to.

    Jason;
    I have owned this car since 1991. It took me three years for the restoration.
    First out in 1994. I believe that picture is about 2 years old, yet that is how it looks today.Are you really interested in a purchase? I definitely would need another GS.
