D03 is the month and day the Corvette passed the station on the assembly line where the trim tag was attached. D is usually the fourth month of production. 03 would be the third day of that month. Model year production usually began in August but there are known exceptions. The first month of production was A. D was usually November.

St. Louis trim tags do not include model year information. Bowling Green trim tags have a B or C stamped in them indicating 1981 or 1982 model years. Bowling Green tags also include a partial VIN. St. Louis tags do not.

For the 1977 model year, D03 is Wednesday, November 3, 1976. I52 is smoke gray leather; 28L is Corvette dark blue.

I52 - same as our '77 - smoked gray leather. I "think" all '77's came with leather standard? Been a long time since these cars were built. Doesn't surprise me that it's been changed out. Our car has black interior now as well.

Month and day of the month. I go here http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/index.html plug in the year, and pop up the day of the week.
