Paint code 1948

Hi, I have a Ford F47 1948 (Canadian). Does someone can tell me why the color on the ID plate is M-1800-B. This color is '' Yosemite green''. But Ford didn't make this color in 1948. The last time was in 1940. By the way, what's mean the ''B'' in the paint code? Bryan

Not sure about the B, but Yosemite Green was a stock Ford Canada color 1948-1951 and again in 1954. M-1800.

Sorry, but I am not aware of any. We have a Canadian VIN thread on here established by a Canadian member. Nathan posted the colors in a table format several years ago, but it seems that the format has been distorted over time.
