Here are the option codes for 1955 in pdf format.

Use these to decode the numbers found on your paint/trim/option tag. This tag is usually found on your firewall near the mastercylinder.

Mark mentioned that the document he had was a 3 page fold out, but he only posted the 2 pages in the original post and consequently that was all I could move to this forum.

Sincerely,
John

It's supposed to be fun!

The paint and trim code section is three 8.5 x 11 inch pages in length. I cannot scan that large a document and without column and line headers the document is illegible.
