Paint code on the data plate is PPP, which is Kenya Ivory. To the right of the paint code is &3-4. Can anyone tell me what "&3-4" stands for?
Thanks for any help.

I was unable to find any site that mentions the special character & after the color code. Examples of 1957 trim tags are out there but none of them are like yours. Try contacting this organization to see if they have an answer and if you find it, please let us know.
 
Is the car 2 tone by chance? Many times the second set of codes is either for the accent color, or the interior color for the painted metal surfaces.
 
The car does have a blue spear, but the "&3-4" does not show up anywhere on the color charts, etc. I believe the blue spear was added when it was repainted since PPP is a solid color code for Kenya Ivory. The mystery continues.......

as I suggested in post #2 try POCI, they deal with older cars. Another source is www.oldride.com .
