John -- my first car ever was a '65 Corvette convertible, and the P-O-P imprint on a dealer work order that I still have shows 420 C (white car with tan vinyl). Would this have been the same irregardless if the body was
A.O. Smith or St. Louis ? Back then (spring 1968) I wouldn't have even known where the trim tag was located . Car was stolen 8 months later.

Yup, the P-O-P was coded the same way regardless of the body source (it was created at St. Louis) - three number digits for the trim code, one alpha character for the exterior paint (there were two identical alpha characters on the trim tag for the paint code, but only one was used on the P-O-P).
