Found a Lark build tag, what's it all mean?

[Jeff T.]

I was doing some cleaning of my attic this afternoon in preparation of some future renovations and I found a glovebox build tag from my late 62 Lark sedan pinned to an old cork board. I can figure out was some of it means but I'm going to post it for further translation

5764 S F4 P11 WHT 2353-4600-1254 S10868
42 A BL 2 26301
AUTO 60"-80

I know it was a 62 two door sedan with an automatic transmission and it was white with a two tone interior. It may or may not have had a radio when new but I installed one.

Thanks in advance,

Jeff T.

I'm not real good at reading these line setting tickets either, but I know some of the items......
5764 = number of cars made so far in that year
S = a six cylinder car
F = a two-door sedan
4 = deluxe model
P11 =(P6211 on the build sheet) Ermine white (WHT)
2353-4600-1254 = not sure, could be body & key numbers, or
could be line no. & order no.
S10868 = car serial no. (VIN)
42 = undercoating, or....42 A might be part of the upholstery code
BL = blue (upholstery)
2 26301 = not sure
Auto = transmission
60 = Climatizer
80 = F4 accessory kit (stainless ext. window trim, rear ashtray, rt.
rt. side sun visor

One exception Dwain,wouldn't the first # listed,5764,be the sequential # of the body tub built,not the # of car built?
I know that earlier models,my 61 For instance,body number has nothing to do with how many cars had been assembled at the time the tub was used...

Certainly could be. Like I said, I don't know as much as I pretend to. Too bad the body tag is probably no longer in existence.
