New owner of an old Subaru, here. I'm trying to decipher the codes on the metal engine compartment plate. So far, I've managed to break down the VIN as follows: 1995 Legacy L 2nd generation non-raised roof station wagon with 2200cc engine and full-time AWD (made in Lafayette, Indiana).

 

But where can I find information on "Applied Model", "Option Code", "Trim Code" and "Color Code"? I did a search of the forums, but didn't find anything that defines the specific codes on my particular plate. Any assistance greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Maybe a dealer can help you.

Maybe. It's just odd that there's NOTHING online about it. Seems like something a lot of people would be interested in. Which leads me to believe it might not exist at all...

Trim code is interior color I believe.

Color code is exterior color.

 

Option code and applied model I'm not sure of.

 

Someone who may know is Joe Spitz of Cars101.com. I don't see that info posted on the site just at a quick glance, but you could probably email him and ask.

Thank you, Sooberoo! I'll give that a try.
