I am considering buying a 1969 Cougar from a seller far away and I wanted to determine what I can from the door trim tag. Is there a decoder available to us?

The reference book did the job. Thanks!
Now what the heck are the actual colors of the seats/door panels, dash, column, console and carpet in a Light Ivy Gold Corinthian All Vinyl interior?
A Light Ivy Gold interior will be mostly a light silver green color. And by everything, that means the seats, door panels, headliner, lower dash, console, and windlace. However, the dash pad, steering wheel/column, carpet, and package tray will be Dark Ivy Green (!). If the car has standard seat/shoulder belts, those will be black. If the car was originally equipped with Deluxe seat/shoulder belts, those will be Dark Ivy Green. Ford did a really good job of color coordinating everything as much as they could. Below is a link to a shot of such an interior.
Thanks for the lead. Though this car is amazingly nice and original including paint, I’m not sure I can deal with that interior color. Thanks again!
