I want to thank all those members who replied to my first request for
bodytag info. I have decoded many of the Accessory codes from the 1962
bodytag. There are just a few codes left to decode and I'm appealing to any
1962 owner who's car has any of the following factory installed options.

1) Factory installed Air Conditioning.
2) Factory installed gas heater
3) Powertop on a Oakland built car
4) Folding rear seat on 500/700 sedans

If you would send me the Accessory code line from your Bodytag, it will be
greatly appreciated.

Any other 62 owners who have not yet sent in any Bodytag info, please do so
we can get enough surveys to verify what we already have.
The more surveys we have, the more certain we will be with the codes already
determined.  Here is the information needed for the Survey:

Complete Fisher Bodytag info from the engine compartment. Especially the ACC
line.
The code should generally look like this:

03D
STYLE  62-0967  BODY WR 108
TRIM 781            PAINT  923 - 5
ACC   ADHJL - 10

The bodytag is located in the engine compartment:
After receiving the Bodytag code, I will need a little background on your
car to help decode the ACC line.
Here is the info needed:
1) Interior Paint color
2) Top color on convertibles

Most importantly I need to know what options were originally on your car,
so I have include a list of options most likely to appear on the bodytag.
Please indicate if your car has any of the following options.

1) Tinted Glass ( Soft Ray glass in all windows)
2) Power Top (Manual top standard, no indicator)
3) Tinted Windshield only
4) Radio
5) Manual transmission
6) Rear antenna
7) Convenience group ( 2 sp wipers, washers, outside rearview mirror)
8) Padded Dash
9) Gas heater
10) factory seatbelts
11) Spyder option
12) Powerglide
13) Air conditioning
14) Folding rear seat on 500/700 sedans

Thanks
