Default Window Sticker Paint codes with Vinyl roofs

hey guys what was put on the window sticker on the first line for the paint code when you had a vinyl roof?
was it the Double paint code as 19-19 for Tuxedo black or did they do something different like just the one 19.
i have seen the paint code as double then the vinyl roof color right under that.
trying to resolve an arguement on what is right or wrong between myself and a friend.

I just checked a couple I have on the computer, all the ones W/vinyl top that I have the pnt code is double listed ie; 10 10.
Also the few I have the vinyl top is near the top and the pnt. color code is at the bottom.

You're asking about the Window sticker,not the buildsheet right?
Original Monroney labels,(Window Sticker),coded body paint differently on them by using an ECL code first,then the two digit Chevrolet number.
A Vinyl Top was an extra option,so it was included in the RPO's listed afterwards.
Here's one I have from a 1970 Chevelle built at Kansas Leeds plant that is Cranberry Red with Blk V/Top.

952 75 Cranberry Red
756 Black vinyl Interior
AO1 Soft-Ray Tinted Glass
A51 Strato-Bucket Front Seats
B37 Floor Mats 2 Front & 2 rear
C08 Vinyl Roof Cover Black
etc.etc.etc....

Code 19 Tuxedo black was referred to as ECL code 933 in 1970.

yes,i am asking about the window sticker of a 1970 chevelle.
i see yours has the single number.
i am planning on ordering a window sticker from Triple "a" enterprise and a buddy of mine told me they do the vinyl roof cars incorrect with the duoble paint codes.
i want to verify what is wrong or write.
so it seems just the one number would be correct for vinyl covered cars? my car is built in Atlanta,maybe someone with an Atlanta built original window sticker that came with vinyl top can verify what they have?

Yes,just like that...The 3 digit ECL code then the Chevrolet two digit color code,then the V/Top RPO number of C08..then the actual vinyl top color worded after it,with the cost farther to the right.
I didn't include the costs in my earlier reply.

If the car did NOT come with a V/Top or Convert.top,both the upper & lower body color were listed originally.

952 75-75 Cranberry red

Triple A uses the correct ECL paint codes as well as the correct style on both Hardtop,Convert. & V/top cars that I have seen so far.

Yes...although a reproduction you're showing there,that's typical of how they would've done it.

thank you rick,it is a repro window sticker and i will be telling people that when it is displayed on the rear window but i want it to be correct anyways.i just think it is great to put a window sticker on the car even though it is a repro as it tells people what the car came with.
i always display a copy of my build sheet as well on the dash,the real build sheet stays at home in a save
