Chassis tag information (urq)?

[ccohen5]

Thanks for the useful data.  So Quartz is an Urq code as well.  I am told
that this color was only used on the SQ, anyone ever seen it elsewhere.
That may have been the way the SQ seats became fitted; by ordering that
color you had to take and pay for the SQ seats?
