(1) The Comfort & Convenience group varied with the series. Type A is for 135, 136, 137, and 138xx series while Type B included a glove box lamp with 131, 132, 133, and 134 series. Group 4 with the letter "F" includes RPO D32 (Z01) mirror, the letter "F" includes RPO D33 (Z13) remote mirror.

(2) The letter "P" isn't known for certain on Framingham Chevelles. It was initially believed to be for RPO Z01/Z13, Comfort & Convenience Group Type A or Type B depending on the particular series. However, a 300 2-door sedan has been documented with "P" in group 2 but it does not have a glove box lamp nor backup lamps, only a driver side door mirror.

(3) Found on a 1965 Nova. Presumed to be the same code for a Chevelle tag.

(4) Entered production March, 1965
