Someone else will jump in and fill in the blanks.

Ken,
Thank you SO much for that info. So it looks like my car started life as the green that is is now with a yellow top. I haven't seen that combo on line yet. I saw yellow cars with green tops, but not the opposite.
I just purchased a repair manual on Ebay, and have a bid on the body manual too. I'm sure those will be invaluable to me.
Have a great weekend.
