I may have already provided most, if not all, of my Esquire's number. If not, here they are again,

Vehicle 5687-4121
TPN. 047125
Engine (top stamping behind water pump, same as Vehicle number, 5687-4121)

Other than the casting numbers on the heads, I could not see any other engine numbers easily.

Another, possibly Esquire-related oddity is that my stainless door jamb plate does not show any paint code...it's blank. My car was painted originally Dover White over Mojave Tan. The trim code shows the corresponding L189 though for leather in tan,white and copper. I wonder if it was shipped to be Esquired in primer, without the usual ReynoldsWrap side trim, at the dealer (DuBois, Arlington, VA)?
