Topic: 51 Ford firewall data and VIN plate

  Just bought a 51 Business coupe,and it has been painted a bunch of times. I'm trying to figure out what the original paint and interior colors were so I can redo it as original .

My VIN number on the data plate is H1NR13XXXX

The trim (?) numbers on the same plate reads as below/

72C A B 25E642

Can anyone help me with this? I ordered the club 49-51 Ford book tonight,but it obviously hasn't came in yet.

  I will take an attempt at this.......trim
72C = Deluxe Business Coupe
A = Black paint
B = Deluxe Broadcloth, tan stripe
25E642 = 25th day of E=May 642nd vehicle built

H = 6 cyl
1 = 51
NR = New Richmond
13xxxx number assembled

If I am incorrect look for corrections -- this information came from the book you just ordered.
