Re: '69 Nova trim tag question
I did some research on this a few years ago... Pretty sure that I gave Marlin what I had found too so that he could verify my findings on cars that he researched.
The letter has to do with interior color only... The style of interior (be it bench or bucket, standard or deluxe) has no bearing on the code. As noted, "A" was black, "B" was blue, "R" was red, etc... I don't recall ever seeing an "M" code though.
The number following the letter denoted the exterior trim level. I don't have my records available currently so I'm going from memory on this, but I believe that no number following the code meant no exterior trim level, a "1" meant the car had roof drip rail moldings, a "2" indicated body side molding OR lower body molding, and "3" was roof drip rail moldings AND body side moldings OR roof drip rail moldings AND lower body moldings.
The anodized window trim MAY have been part of "2" (sorry, I just don't recall at the moment), but always seems to be included when "3" appears on the trim tag.

Stan
