63V and 63C trim codes

[wbute]

Because it was the same colour only the pattern changed.
Using Buckskin as the colour example:
Earlier HZ had Buckskin long grain and was called 63V
Later HZ Buckskin sandpaper and was called 63C

You need to have different codes to order parts when replacing.
That shouldn't be too hard to understand?

Why did they change all the trim codes in WB back to V????

[wbute]

Oh now I get it Inuendo, they went back to long grain. Strange my interior doesn't look like long grain but it must be.

It does appear to say it's a V trim. So do the other 4 WB's here. Different colour prefix on them of course. So they must have reverted to the V code and only used the C code in late HZ. As far as I am aware the pattern in the dash pad is the same for C in late HZ and V in WB. Strange days indeed.

It isn't just the dash pad that changes with HZ C trim over V though. From memory the HJ-HZ W, X, Y, A and B trims are called Caribou (I assume because the vinyl grain is a replica of a Caribou leather), not sure what the C vinyl grain is called. I think HQ was Roebuck but can't remember for certain. I don't recall seeing many or any WB's with C codes but they are listed in the WB parts catalogues so maybe only the early ones built prior to VC volume production?

[HK1837]

I just checked the WB parts catalogues and as these don't have a table in the front like HQ-HZ you have to go searching. I can't find a WB commercial with C trim code only Statesman.

They had a nice bronze colour and nutmeg in WB. Not sure on sadle tan.
