This document is a photographed interior trim color-matching reference consisting of a medium blue textured vinyl swatch stapled to paper, accompanied by a typed identification card. The card reads "FORD INT. TRIM CODE B, 78-" (the text is cut off after "78-", suggesting a year range beginning in 1978) and "MED. BLUE MET., SEM #1718", identifying the color as Ford interior trim code B, Medium Blue Metallic, matched to SEM color-coat product number 1718. A second swatch of blue plaid/tweed upholstery cloth is partially visible at the top of the frame. A reader can learn that Ford's interior trim code B for a 1978-era vehicle corresponds to Medium Blue Metallic, and that SEM #1718 is the aftermarket vinyl/interior paint product used to match or restore this color. This is useful for anyone restoring or re-dyeing the blue interior components (dash, door panels, seats, trim) of a late-1970s Ford such as the uploader's 1978 Bronco. Some peripheral text on the underlying paper ("35", "(5") is cut off and illegible.
