Thread: Help decoding paint number in 1951 Buick Special Two Door Deluxe

    Question Help decoding paint number in 1951 Buick Special Two Door Deluxe

    I got stuck with the identification of the paint number of our Buick 1951 Special Deluxe. It reads I ABD, probably meaning 1 ABD, as I was used for 1.
    If "1" stands for the paint number 01, this would mean it's Carlsbad Black. But I can't get the meaning of ABD. Can anyone help me?

    Those are probably option (accessory) codes. They were supposed to be stamped next to "ACC", but usually aren't.

    A = Dynaflow transmission
    B = Heater and defroster
    D = Radio and antenna
