63 A/C question

Does anyone know if the paint tag has anything stamped on it that indicates if the car was an original A/C car? I am aware of the date which is stamped for month and week, but do not know if GM ever stamped anything on it about the car having A/C.

Thanks

Yes, it does. If the "Trim" number has a 2-character suffix starting with an "X", the car had A/C. There are some other single-letter suffixes that signify A/C with the saddle leather interior. What's the build date code and "Trim" code?

Some say as early as early MAY, those cars did not have the "X" identifier as the X identifier did not come in till later in the 63 production year. That is my understanding at the moment. A number of pre-production cars were fitted with AC, and the X had not been adopted yet.
