1964 Chrysler Canadian Paint Code PP

This one is interesting. The colour started out as Fiesta Red, code N, in 1961 (Ditlzer DQE-71006, CIL 2333-2224, DuPont Canada DU-684-H). Same colours and codes through the 1963 model year. Ditzler code DQE-71006 is an American code used by Chrysler Corp.

For 1964 code N changed to Flame Red, but with new paint company codes for DuPont Canada DU-999-H. Mid-year Ditlzer changed to DQE-7217 and CIL to 2352-2309. Later in the year CIL changed to 2333-2312. Ditzler code DQE-7217 is a Canadian code not used in the U.S.

1965 model year codes were Ditzler DQE-7217, CIL 2333-2312, DuPont Canada DU-999-H .

So, yes, the 1965 code will work on the 1964 models. The early 1964 production would have a slight difference from the later 1964 models and all 1965 models. As long as you used the same colour over the whole vehicle I doubt anyone could tell. .

Chrysler never built cars in Vancouver. All 1929 models (starting spring, 1929) and through to 1983 were built in Windsor, Ontario - the plant on Chrysler Centre, home of the minivans.

Ford and GM built cars in Western Canada, but not Chrysler. Ford's first Vancover plant was on Nelson Street where they assembled pre-painted RHD Model Ts from 1912 to 1917. The plant was expanded along Hamilton Steet, still with RHD model Ts. In 1923 the BC changed to LHD and so did Ford's assembly plant.

In 1938 a new plant was built in Burnaby and built cars through 1941 and then 1946-47. On the 1946-47 models, look for the letter "V" in the VIN. The plant in Burnaby is long gone, but the site is now home to Metrotown complex.

Ford also built an assembly plant in Winnipeg, at Portage and and Wall. Plant ended assembly operations in 1938. Building is now the Robert Fletcher Building, owned by the Province of Manitoba.

General Motors built an assembly plant on Front Street, Regina. It is still there as is Chrysler of Canada's western parts plant and offices - right across the street from the GM building. GM built cars in Regina from 1928 to 1931 and 1938 to 1941.

HI Bill please excuse me for high jacking this thread, I reside in Durban South Africa and have my late dad's 67 Plymouth fury 2 sedan 4 door with the paint code WW 1.
Which is stamped on the plate on lefthand side wheel arch however there is also a card in a plastic pocket just behind the battery with completely different numbers "unless I'm reading it incorrectly" which one do I refer to in general?
