On the Henry J tag, Model K513 indicates it is a standard (4 cylinder) model. The '4' under "Body" indicates it's a two-door (as all Henry Js were). Paint code 110 indicates the color is 'Cardinal' which was a deep maroon. The trim code of 3401-1 indicates the upholstery is 'Armor-weave gray.' The number '1' under DR (believed to stand for 'Delivery Region') means the car was shipped to a US dealer. The '4' under "TR" indicates it has an overdrive transmission (a '2' would mean it was standard transmission without overdrive, automatic trans was never an option on the Henry J). Since there is no number under the "AG" section, that means the car, as many four cylinder 1951 Henry Js, was not fitted with an "Accessory Group." This means the Henry J would not have a trunk lid, horn ring, dual horns (under the hood), cigar lighter, full wheel covers, or bumper gaurds. All deluxe Henry Js were fitted with an Accessory Group and many four cylinder models were too but this one wasn't. The numbers under "Sched" and "Item" refer to the schedule (date of manufacture) and item number on the line that day. I don't know how to decifer the Sched and Item number but hopefully someone will come on here and provide a further explanation. It would've looked just like this one -
Regarding the Allstate tag, model 340 indicates it is a 1953, deluxe (6 cylinder) model. The body 4 indicates two-door sedan, paint 208 is 'Anchor Gray' and Trim Code 5620-A was unknown at the time the KFOC handbook was put together. 'I.P.' indicates "Interior Paint" and 32 indicates Persian Gray (as most '53 Henry Js and Allstates were). 'DR' again means US, 'TR' 4 indicates overdrive transmission. 'AG' 45 means the car was fitted with Accessory Group 45 which is still unknown but it likely meant it had a trunk lid, full wheel covers, cigar lighter, horn ring, vacuum boosted wipers and likely more options. No information regarding 'CAT. NO 216' but I'd hazard a guess that since it was sold as a Sears product, it may refer to the 'Catalog item number', the number the car was listed as in the Sears catalog. I've also heard conflicting reports that the car was available through the Sears catalog and other reports that it wasn't. Perhaps someone else can shed more light on that.
The Kaiser tag, model 531 indicates 1953 Deluxe (the Deluxe was actually the low-end Kaiser in 1953, one step below a Manhattan, two steps below a Dragon). Body '1' means it was a 4 door sedan, paint 395 is 'Tropical Green Metallic' and trim '5002-A' is 'Chukkar Tan Stockholm & Burma Vinyl'. 'I.P' is interior paint, can't find what 34 indicates as far as color. 'DR' is US delivery and the 'TR' (transmission code) 6 means it was a three speed manual with overdrive (Kaiser used different TR codes than Henry J). The '31' under 'AG' indicates Accessory Group '31' so the car was originally fitted with a horn ring, narrow chrome moulding around the bottom, signal lights (which were still not standard on cars in 1953) and an oil-bath air cleaner.
The Frazer tag, model 495 indicates 1949 Frazer standard (the fancy one was a 496 Manhattan). Body '1' means it was a 4 door sedan, paint 155 is 'Dubonnet' which I think was a blue but I'm not sure. Trim '516' is 'Dubonnet stadium tweed and Bedford' (again, I believe it meant a dark blue). 'DR' is 1 or US delivery and the 'TR' (transmission code) 1 means it was a three speed manual without overdrive (Frazer used different TR codes than Henry J), which really surprises me as I thought overdrive was standard on all Frazers. The '5' above 'AG' indicates Accessory Group '5' which for some reason, was kept confidential by KF.
Hope this helps - Good luck.
