Need some help decifering a trim code
F 22 Build: (I believe that to be built in 1-25-65. Is that correct?)
Style 65 467, (covertible).
Trim 402 AA, (Black leather no restrictions?).
Body S 2509 (St. Louis and body number?)
Paint 90000 ??? Is it black?
Thanks.

F22 = Jan 22
Style 65 467 = 65 Convertible
Trim 402 AA = Black leather, carpet & dash
Body S 2509 = St. Louis body, body # 2509
Paint 90000 = Sure it's not 900AA? That would be tuxedo black

For the body sequence #, there would be 4 possible cars using the same number! The two body plants, St. Louis and AO Smith, each sequentially numbered their bodies, so you can have #1820 coming from each one. Then, you have two body styles, coupe and convertible, so you can have an #1820 coupe and an #1820 convertible. Combining plant and style you can have 4 iterations using the same number.
In the first car above, Style 467 with S 2509 indicates the 2,509th convertible body formed in St. Louis in 1965.
For the second tag, Style 467 with A-1812 indicates the 1,812th convertible body formed in Ionia, by AO Smith in 1967.

Because of lead time in assemble and shipping, AO Smith bodies in 66 were 1 letter different than STL. I'm not sure if this holds true for 65 model years.
My May 66 build is J5 per NCRS Production report date 5/19
