best guess - does this sound correct?

0/2 = ? (382 - outside LH mirror)
A/2 = ? (352 - "Super Fury V-800" 318 cu in w/4bbl)
Q/5 = ? (315 - heater w/defroster)
1130 = scheduled production date (11/30/60)
1080 = shipping order number
311 = '61 Savoy 2 dr sedan V8
501 = blue bench seat interior
CC1 = "robins egg blue" mono-tone paint style

Tags were pretty basic pre-'66, not a lot of info. You can get a copy of the IBM build card from Chrysler Historical, that will give you more info & there could/should be a broadcast sheet inside the car waiting to be found.

Info on tags varied by plant, is your car from the Newark, DE assembly plant? VIN would start - 3116xxxxxx.

Does it appear to be originally 4bbl? Got pics of the car?
