The "35269" is the first five digits of your car's VIN.


The general coding of body styles was:

87 = 2-dr hardtop coupe (often called "holiday")
67 = 2-dr convertible
69 = 4-dr pillar sedan (often called "town" or "celebrity")
39 = 4-dr hardtop sedan (also often called "holiday")


For '67, replace the "52" with "58" and you have Delta 88. Replace with "54" and you have Delta 88 Custom.
I would say if that is right then either the previous owner messed up or the dmv did.The crazy thing is I tried to tell them at the dmv and get them to correct it and it went right over there head.
