TRIM TAG |
|
The photo above shows the trim tag from the author’s unrestored, never apart (until now) Z16.
Reading from top left:

65 = 1965 model year
13837 = Malibu SS
KAN = Kansas City assembly plant. All Z16s with the exception of the two preproduction prototypes, were assembled in KC. The prototypes were assembled in Baltimore.
14629 = Fisher body serial number
792 = Malibu SS vinyl bucket seat interior: white seats, white/black door panels, black carpet and dash, white headliner.
R-6 = (R) Regal Red exterior paint, (6) Black vinyl top
E = AO1 Tinted Glass.

The above accessory codes could appear on any 1965 Chevelle, but only the Z16 received the “M” code in the group 4. The “F” code will always accompany the “M” code since every Z16 had the Comfort and Convenience package.
If it is does not say “4FM” on the trim tag, it is not a Kansas City built Z16. |
