Hi, my 1962 Chrysler 300 Sport convertible shows the
PNT B36 code and
TRM 453. I would very much appreciate any help decoding those two codes. Thx.

Nice car. We might learn a few things from it. I believe the paint code is BB6 with the first B used for the roof color on all cars, convertible or not. Second B, the lower body color. Please sand that second B to make sure it is a B aand not a 3--or maybe so. The 6 is for a black top from the factory, this car was originally Formal Black with a BLACK top (the 6). The seating is tan leather and appears to be a split bench with armrest. The interior will be the same color as the seating--Tan. I'm trying to decode all of the tag for you in my decoder but have hit a few snags. Is the passenger side of the front seat powered? Is the LH outside rear-view mirror manual or remote-adjustable from inside? Does the car have a power antenna? Wheels and wheel covers are not defined on the fender tag but appear to be 15" wheels carrying 300H wheel covers. A not-uncommon option. Wondering which engine came with your car. Standard was a 413 single 4 BBL and the 300H dual quad engine was a common option--to achieve 300H performance at a reduced price. Have you investigated/found a Production Broadcast sheet for the car? Often found tucked in behind the rear seat upright cushion. I don't have a copy of a '62 sheet so I've attached one for a '61 Newport. Knows all, tells all. Suspension, wheels, diff, brakes plus all standard and optional equipment on the car. Worth the effort to find. On the fender tag--the numbers under C & D suggest your car was equipped with the Basic & Deluxe options packages with a total content as follows:
323: BASIC 300: Radio Golden Tone, Heater (When AC desired order Code 383 also-Noted as Q3), Power steering, Power brakes, Windshield washer, Light package
324: DELUXE 300 (N/A 300H): Electric clock, Outside remote control left rear view mirror, Padded steering wheel, Sill molding & stone shields
It would be helpful to know if your car has all of these items. Most of the content of these packages shows up on the fender tag--I'm just trying to figure them out. More later.
