1964 Valiant 20 door seeedan. I've seen WW1 (white) paint code before, but what is WWP? The original color is definitely white. I can post a picture of the fender tag in a bit, it's drying from paint. Thank you drive through.

Here's a shot of the fender tag. Thank you drive through.

Hey RRR,
Is this possibly a Canadian car?
Just a thought.

I don't think so. Anything's possible, I reckon.
Here's a better shot of the fender tag.
For 64 I'm seeing XX as a White paint code (??)
Only - P is a Spruce Green Metallic #2
Here's what I have as a reference
Sorry for thy tiny print

Don't hate me because i'm beautiful
My best guess is white and the P stands for the painted upper door frames which would be red.
Yeah, I think that disproves the Canadian theory. lol
Everything I find with 64 Valiant says WW is white and P is red. It does have a red interior. L1R indicates that. I wonder if it had red somewhere on the outside?
Trying to verify... maybe someone knows... Wonder if the First W is "Upper", Second W is "Lower" and the P is.......Interior or something? (along the lines of what @Dartnut noted)
I know I've seen it but confound it if I can find it now
here are the 64 codes used for the Valiant order code list from my notes.
This is for a barracuda but back then the barracuda initially used the same sheet that I know off. I will keep looking.
Special thanks to Roger Kizer for this info.
Yup. The original interior color is red as can be. lol
Read this:
1st digit is the roof color
2nd digit is the body color and
3rd digit indicates mono tone or two tone.
Does this mean you have a white with red paint scheme?
magazine info thanks to Roger Kizer.

Well, wouldn't that be a hoot?
Interesting.... I don't know that I've ever seen a two-tone in 64. Always seen the T as: T – P Upper, inner door paint = Red
Where do you think the break point between the colors if that is the case? I've got a couple of the sales brochures downstairs.... Hmmmm
That would be a hoot indeed @RustyRatRod
I don't know. That's a good question. I've pretty much decided to paint it back the original white, but now I may need to add some red. LOL I wish I could find out for sure.
Only reference to "two tone" in the brochure is the vinyl top option... Sadly, I'm thinking it's the upper door panel.
2 tone would have 2 after instead of 1. First letter = accent color.
Second letter= basic body color. My 1964 PPG book does not list any 2 tones for Valiant in 1964. I have no idea what the "P" means. Should be a 1.

Have you tried the 62to65mopar tag decoder?
EDIT- looks like the address may have changed-

64 info is pretty thin there.... I've found this but it doesn't get to the third alpha code "P"
1964 Plymouth Body Plate Data
Ahhh... and found this again which is where I got my original decoder (My 64 is White as well Rob...but it's a Canadian)

That lends a little credence to it having a red roof. It's a Detroit, Mi car, btw.
1964 and early 65 cars assembled up to mid October 1964. Right lower corner was PNT. P for roof, N for body and T for upper door frame or paint insert on side mouldings.
In mid October 1965 it read PAINT on the fendertag. P for roof, A for body, I for paint style mono paint or two tone paint, N for paint within mouldings snd T for upper door frame.
WW1 would be White roof, White body and P bright red upper door frame.

Who da hell knows? Maybe a mis-typed tag?
