Simply fill in your VIN, and most of the info will be shown.

Very cool; one item of interest is the interior and exterior color 'names'. I thought in the USA I had Desert Sand Metallic with Palomino interior. The website shows it as impala metallic (с 01.01.1986 по 31.12.1992, с 1994) exterior with an interior of leather light brown / java (274).

Were the names actually listed as something different in other parts of the world?
