    Dave, the plate layout on the Canadian cars is different from US models, but the codes appear to mean the same thing.

    Paint 53= Cortez Gold Iridescent
    Trim 138= Black vinyl
    A65= one of the options (sorry, can't decode)
    02A= time built- 02=February, A=first week of the month

    suncoupe

    Hey Dave A65 is front notch bk seat think it meens 60/40 split bench
    mine did not come with vinylrooflook for option code C08 for vinyl roof 2A white, 2B black, 2F tan, 2G green, 2 covert look for optionD90 body stripe came from mirror over top then over to other mirror
    your best bet is to contact GM Canada at 1 888 467 6853 if it was sold to be imported to Canada theywill make a info package from your vin # it was $30.00 ten years ago?
    Canada had a lot better records than U.S. for old cars
    there where 5466 cars with model # 43337 witch is 2 dr sport coupe sold in Canada this does not tell how many where sun coupes
    the option code for suncoupe is
    Y59 sun coupe
    CF1 folding vinyl sun roof
    C01 sail pannel emblem (sun coupe)
    now the roof was five colors
    WG5 white sun roof (mine 1 of 49 sold in Canada)
    WG6 black sun roof
    WG7sandalwood sun roof
    WG8tan sun roof
    WG9 green sun roof
    the Y59 option could only be ordered with Y57 option whitch was skylark "350" package and skylark "350" package was only avalable on 43337 or 43369 platform 2dr hardtop or 4dr pillar sedan so as for "GS" or 455 sun coupes produced my paper work indicates that this is not so
    if you are still loking for suncoupe emblems I am selling two
