The short make/year code for this paint on a 8373 in 1963, is I. The code I 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: "I 1963 Lincoln". The longer Ford paint manufacturing code is M1459 or M1459A. Ford production paint codes starting with M are usually followed by a 4 digit number and the letter "A" indicating its an exterior paint. For example, the same code ending in the letter "G" is common for accent paints. These longer manufacturing codes are useful for tracking paint usage.
