Any DSO code of more than two characters is a code for a fleet/special order purchase.And this fleet purchase suggest that there was special specifications involved --either special paint or special grouping of options. It would be nice to know what company was involved in the fleet purchase and what options were involved.

Just thought i would bump this back up and see if anyone has anymore info on the dso code or on the paint code. Again the paint code is S and it is kind of a mint light green. Anyone have paint code book and can look it up? ( i looked online but with no luck, at autocolorlib. com thanks)

I guess the only option for getting that color is taking it somewhere and having it matched or try and find something close in a paint book? thanks

I looked in my 1960 book and S= special, but thats not to say it didn't change from 1959. There was only one light green in 59' refered to as adriatic Green(M30J-1274) Hope this helps, -4speed
