I had a '63 sedan 3Y82N400310, a VERY early '63 (date code left blank) which is now in Dubai and the data plate was on the inside door jamb. My '63 convertible is a 05L production date and the data plate again is on the inside door jamb.
Ahh thank you. Good observation. Thanks for the info on the trim. It tends to throw me off since I own a ‘64 & ‘65 so I’m use to seeing it lol. Thanks again.
@@lincolnaddict You are welcome. As a side note: Are you aware that the center top bow on the 1961 convertible is something like an inch higher than on the 1962-63". It gives the 1961 a little bit of a "bubble top" look, since with a white top more than a black top. When I was a kid I liked that look, as it contrasts with the low linear lines of the car body - I still like the look. I believe it is noted in the 1962 sales catalog that the new 1962 top is slimer to look more like the sedan.

Thanks for chiming in. Always awesome to have these details.
A quick note. In the door open photos, none of the door lights are on. Also, someone has installed the rear quarter lower trim from a 1964-65.
