10C means 3rd week (C) of October (10) build date. That would be October 1966. Built relatively early in the model year.


Others will have info on the rest of the codes.

I'll take a shot at this. I don't have any B or C body info so I might be out of line.

10C = time build code = October (10), 3rd week of that month (C) = third week of October 1966.

ST 67 = style/model year = 1967

3 = GM division = Oldsmobile

58 = model series = Delta 88 (I guessing here and that's because your picture shows a Delta 88)

39 = body type = hardtop? 2-door?

TR 360 = trim/interior color and front seat type = ? (I don't have these codes, either)

GG PNT = lower and upper body color = gold (consistent with your picture)

C60 = option code = air conditioner, 4-season

That's my best look. Someone in the B body arena should be able to decode the interior color and front seat type, as well as verify the model series (58) and body type (39).

5800= Delta 88

39= 4-door hardtop (Holiday Sedan)

TR 360= black vinyl bench seat but my book doesn't distinguish between center armrest or not. I doubt a Delta would have had it, whereas a Custom (5400) would.

GG= Gold lower and upper body. If you had a vinyl top the upper body would have a letter indicating the roof color.

My '67 Delta 88 convertible has a center armrest. It folds up into the center of the seat if you want to have a full bench. The car is not a Delta 88 Custom.
