1975-79 Ford Trim Code B Blue Metallic - SEM #1736 Color Match Label

This photograph shows a typed reference label (part of what appears to be a paint/color sample swatch set) resting on blue vinyl upholstery. The label reads: "FORD EXT. TRIM CODE B, 75-79 / BLUE MET., SEM #1736." It documents a cross-reference between Ford's exterior trim color code "B" used on 1975-1979 vehicles, a blue metallic color, and SEM product number 1736, which is the matching SEM vinyl/interior coating color. A reader can learn from this document that if their 1975-1979 Ford has trim code B (blue metallic), the corresponding SEM color product to refinish or match that trim is SEM #1736. The label is photographed against blue vinyl material, presumably the trim being matched. A stack of color sample chips is visible at the right edge of the frame, fastened with a metal rivet, consistent with a color-matching swatch fan deck. This is useful for owners restoring or repainting interior/trim vinyl on mid-to-late 1970s Fords who need the correct aftermarket SEM color code to match factory trim code B blue metallic.
