The short make/year code for this paint on a 7579 in 1961, is M. The code M is unique to this paint color formulation for this year; therefore, the code can be used along with the manufacturer and year to specify the paint. For example: "M 1961 Ford". The longer Ford paint manufacturing code is M1238 or M1238A. Ford production paint codes starting with M are usually followed by a 4 digit number and the letter "A" indicating its an exterior paint. For example, the same code ending in the letter "G" is common for accent paints. The longer Chrysler paint manufacturing code, sometimes called the "Dodge Truck paint code" is DT1220. These longer manufacturing codes are useful for tracking paint usage.
