All Fisher Body styles are identified by a Body Number Plate as illustrated below. This Plate which is the sole means of correctly identifying the body should never be destroyed or mutilated. If, in the installation of heaters or other accessories, it becomes necessary to remove the Body Number Plate, it should be reinstalled as close as possible to its original position.

Using the plate above as an example: STYLE NO. 46-1007: Is a combination body style number. "46" represents the year 1946. "10" indicates the GM car division (Chevrolet) for whom the body was made and "07" the actual style (model) of the body. Thus Style No. 46-1007 on the typical identification plate above may be interpreted as a 1946 Chevrolet Fleetline Series Aerosedan. BODY NO. F 3949: Is the sequence or production rotation in which the body was made. The prefix "F" represents the plant in which it was made. (See Assembly Plant Codes Below) TRIM NO. 132: Is the combination number of the trim used in the body. As shown on the identification plate the Trim No. "132" indicates a combination of plain and tan striped cloth. PAINT NO. 336: Is the paint or color combination used on the body. The Paint No. 336 as shown on the above plate indicates the body is painted Mayland Black.
