The chart below may assist in the interpretation and decoding of Data Plates on many1964 Chryslers. Information on wagons, taxis, cop-cars and others is not included. Others may have a list that is a little different, especially under the letter “N”. A “1” there may signify Code 411—Color-coded front seat belts. Code 611 is for “Undercoating and Under-Hood Pad” and may not show on the Data Plate. Additions/corrections welcomed—including information on wagons and other 1964 Chryslers.
