Markings on interior metal

There was a post on that, it was thought that they were vat codes for paint (at least the one behind the rear seat)....if I remember correctly.

They seem to be marked prior to paint, so logically it might be a painting sequence or color info. The "6X" might relate to a black interior (X), and maybe 6 is the seat code, like buckets/bench or trim level.

I think 6bblgt's explanation in the link makes the most sense, it's like broadcast sheet or fender tag info written on a place where the painters can read it

This kind of stuff is like automotive archaeology.

The attached are numbers I observed on a car that I inspected last week. It was a 1969 Coronet R/T, rag top, auto, black interior and yellow exterior. My theory on the numbers based on my final vehicle assembly production experience leads me to believe that part of the code is related to line position for painting. Vehicles were batched outside of the paint line and efforts were made to batch run like cars and colors as much as possible.
