Fremont, CA. continued to use a three letter combination (third letter being wheel color) off and on until late November, 1965 when the wheel color code was dropped apparently on all model tags.
Sometime between December of 1965 and January of 1966, Fremont, CA. also changed the format of their trim tags to match other assembly plants.
