Notes: The body code (289) was not listed on the tag in 1962. Also 85 HP at 3600 RPM is a T engine, not the S engine in the warranty number.
The door tag pictured here is not the original tag. Someone made this to look like the original. Notice the characters are recessed rather than raised as they would be on a real door tag.
