Pre-war (up to 1942) 1937 series 60 data plate decoding info?

[JGrafton]

Hi everyone, I am trying to do a complete origional restoration of a 1937 Cadillac series 60 taking it down all the way to the frame. (it was an awesome barn find I got from some one, it seems like all the original parts are in boxes) but I am having trouble decoding the data plate.
 I know the style no. means that it is a 1937 series 60 and it is a 5 seater but I can not seem to find the trim no. info or the paint number. Any help would be appreciated.

style no.   37-6019
body no.  751
trim no.     41
paint no.   50

      37-6019 is a 5pass 4 door touring sedan

      trim 41  is Tan Novelty Bedford cloth

      Paint  50 is Black with wheels black,Flare Red  or Clearwater Green

      Body number would be 751 of that body style. Only series 60 ,with no break down of styles production   is known. Including Comm.  chassis the total was 7000. I would guess over half were 4 doors,making your car an early one.
