That's the trim plate. It's stamped with the trim paint and time-built codes.

Month
August - A
September - B
October - C
November - D
December - E
January - F
February - G
March - H
April - I
May - J
June - K
July - L

After that, the number is the Day Built.

Example: D1 --- November 1st

By the way, yours was built on October 14

Gary,

At the top of the page you will see "Tech Center" tab, click on it. That will take you to another page, click on "Model Cener" on this page, that inturn will take you to a page you can plug in 1978 and get information about your paint and interior color by the codes off your trim tag

Thanks! Appreciate the help .

Hate to be a pain but, is there any other tags to look for that would have option codes on it ? If so where are they located ?


I went to the section Rare81 suggested but didn't see anything that told me what the Trim 92 9L Paint meant. Or is Trim 192 19L Paint ? You 'll have to forgive me this is my first Vette. I am use to 60's -70's Mopars . Sorry.

Here's the numbers I'm trying to figure out what they mean.

RfirstVette, Your codes are telling you that you have a Black Corvette(19) with a black leather interior (192). According to the Corvette Black Book, there were about 4,573 Corvettes painted black in '78. Hope this helps.

Sorry for the brief explaination, here is the page I was referring too 1978 Production "Stuff"
