First post. I'm saving/custom building a 1953 Pathfinder. Looking for info on the original colours. The dash looks like a brown colour and I think the body was originaly a whiteish colour. Any info from the data plate would be great.
In 1953
model 20-69W = Pathfinder Deluxe 4 door sedan
Serial numbers started at 32069W00001 and went up
Engine Numbers ( all models ) started at W219001 and went up
Body serial is just a sequential number
Trim 516 = interior colour and material
Paint355 = Sahara Beige
list price = $2365
weight = 3276 lbs
manufactured in Oshawa, ON
I don't have the 1953 Canadian swatches or info sheets. Here is info gathered from the American 1953 Chev swatches ( many times GM used the same numbering system across all product lines ) 1953 Chevs had a 2 tone dash and code 516 translated into India Ivory and Sungold. Hope this may be of help.
Oh, and welcome aboard.
Looking forward to hearing more about your car and seeing pictures.
