Can someone help me out decoding a '63 Riviera?

Here is what I have so far:

Vin. #7J1119694

Plate in eng comp. had following info:
Style 63-4747
FB38146 Body
Trim 787

ACC. S7 16 N2 U7

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I am going to try an attachment which I have never done from the '63 Service Manual. Wish me luck. If it doesn't come over clear or whatever let me know.

Sorry but the site only will allow 19.5kb upload. My upload is much larger than that. I will have to find out the best way to send or upload. I was trying to upload using Acrobat. I will figure it out and send another message today.
I am going to send you a personal message since 19.5 kb is not workable.

If you click on Reference, and then 63, all the information is there.

so you scanned it? you'll need to use something like Irfanview to create a low res version of the scan. also, make sure it's coded in black and white / monochrome. color scanning or greyscale, even of black on white text is very memory intensive.
