The code C is unique to this paint color formulation for this year; therefore, the code can be used along with the manufacturer and year to specify the paint. For example: "C 1959 Ford". The longer Ford paint manufacturing code is M1012 or M1012A. Ford production paint codes starting with M are usually followed by a 4 digit number and the letter "A" indicating its an exterior paint.
