They changed the name to F45 because they improved it that year with the system that they were planning to use on the C5 (more adjustments per second, I think).

Yes, F45.

The options RPO codes listed on the sticker under your console lid or the rear compartment lid is more informative than the VIN. See http://ceregistry.terrymathews.us/ for a list of the RPO codes for the 96.

Of the 8 listed on the chart, "F45*" is the entry for for the F45 convertible. (The other two entries for F45 are for the coupe and the Grand Sport.)
