Welcome to the FORUM.

The code number is stamped on the TRIM TAG (2X3 inch plate) riveted to the driver's door pillar about midway down.

Took another look at the tag. It is similar to the one posted above.

I28 indicates the car was built around April 28.

642 indicates Buckskin Leather (64 is Buckskin, 2 is Leather)

33 Paint indicates Dark Green
