Hi,
I have found two plates on a '61 LeSabre 2dr Hardtop
One shows the Vin: 4H301 9487

and the other says: BUICK DIV. GENERAL MOTORS
O & E FLINT MICHIGAN
STYLE 61-4437 BODY BL (or BU?) 1530
TRIM 411 PAINT HC1
ACC
THIS CAR WAS FINISHED WITH
Magic Mirror ACRYL LAQUE
BODY BY FISHER 21

The H of the VIN means 1961 and STYLE 61-4437 means '61 LeSabre 2dr Hardtop, I'm sure, but what does all the rest mean and what for stands O & E and ACC? Is HC1 the paint-number of Biminiblue?
I'm realy happy if someone can help me!
Greetings
Phil

Since it is a 61 LeSabre ( 4400 series) 1= only the top is two tone paint. So in this case the body color, Bimini blue, is the main top color and the artic white is the accent color for the two tone scheme.

Due to some problems with my internet provider I hadn't been online for quite a long time... thanks a million for your answers! This is really the best buick side on the worldwideweb!
