Interior Trim Codes:
Interior Trim codes start getting more complex due to the fact that you
could now get creative with the dash, rug and seat color combination.
Due to this a trim code suffix (letter) was added to the code (number). The
trim code suffix identifies seat material type & model usage.
There were 5 colors available:
Black (19), White (various), Light Buckskin, Light Blue (24) & Dark Firethorn.
Light blue was a Type LT color - only.
Trim Code Suffix: B = Sport Cloth (SC), C = Knit Cloth (LT), N = vinyl (LT), R = vinyl (SC).
Trim code NUMBER identified trim color (not just seats).
