    TRIM is not correct: 59 4829 Trim 861

    Hi,
    I try to renew the interior of my 1959 Buick Electra 225 Riviera Sedan with the TRIM Code 861.
    At the link for the TRIM Codes I did see that the colours do not match with the installed color.
    It does say black/white but my interior is beige and some kind of gold carpet.
    Does anybody know why the TRIM is not correct?

    Also, does anyone know what the
    ACC. U7
    does say?
    and the
    Body BC 50
    at the Body Plate

    Here are some pictures of the inside and the Body Plate.

    I see it is changed now also, Thanks.

    [Paint R = Copper Glow Metallic]
    I did know about the color, RR is mine and I am happy about that so I know it is original as it is not a second color at the roof.
    Hope to get the paint one day in Germany, but first is the inside.

    [BC = body built at South Gate, CA]
    [50 = body number, 50th 4829 built at South Gate]
    So the car was an Californian until I brought it to Germany.
    I got the car from an 89 year old man, he told me that he is/was the first owner.
    He was it for sure from 1961 because that does show the punced year at the black plate.

    [U7 = Power Windows
    ]
    That is very interesting, only the power windows are listed...
    I also have the WonderBar Radio, electric antenna and power seats.

    What I love at the WonderBar Radio is the knob at the floor to change the radio station :-D

    Thank you for your answers, I hope to get everything right.

    I have corrected the trim code numbers in the '59 reference. Thank you for pointing to that.
