1968 interior code

I have a question for all. I have a 68 427 conv with exterior code 988 cordovan maroon and a interior code 421 saddle leather. This color combo is not listed in any book that I can find. Car was made in Nov. 67. How can I find out how rare this combo is?
Thanks Chuck

My new 68-69 NCRS Judging Guide says 421 Saddle was "added during the production year; date is unkown."

No production numbers.

GM kept no records of option combos.

I've seen it mentioned that saddle was thought to have become available in the spring of 68. If you have it in a November car, you might have one of the earliest examples of the saddle.

I've seen 1968 saddle door panels that were dated May 67 on a March 68 build car. I don't know if the door panels were original to the car, but the May 67 build date sure looked original.
