On the top box (PLT. OPT 16) any ideas what it means, also on the top box far right (P P)?

 

AO1 is tinted glass. As far as the P P 2 I have no idea. My 70 W30 has this same info

 

Just discovering this thread now after owning a '70 Cutlass Supreme convertible for 35 years. (red exterior, white top, pearl interior, buckets, console, automatic, speed shifter gate).

My broadcast sheet includes these items that I don't know the meaning of:
Seq: 024 Mo: 03 Day: 10

Under Trim, SPCL: Z
Trim Comb: 977

Under PP: 2

Box 1: A39

The only other box with anything is 9, with U80, which I see is the rear speaker option (since removed).

Thanks for any help you can offer.

And thanks for this wonderful forum.

 

Might be able to help you with a couple of them:

I believe the sequence designates the car was the 24th unit built on Mar. 10th

A39 is Seat Belts, Deluxe front & rear, convertible

 

Thanks for that, Fanatic. I'll check back to see if others have anything to add.

 

Were Fisher Body W30 broadcast sheet options put on at the Oldsmobile plant or sent off to Fisher

 

I have a couple of questions about the Broadcast Card. All 1970 442”sW30’s came standard with Strato Bucket Seats. I know there are potentially 5 areas on the Broadcast Card codes that point to the vehicle having Bucket Seats : Style, Trim Combo, W30 in Box #3, A51 in Box #4 or #5 and finally the word BUCKET stamped in red ink. With buckets being standard on 442’s/W30’s and a Bench Seat being optional on 442’s/W30’s you would think that more of an effort would be needed to the workers at Fisher to point out that a Bench Seat was called for on that particular vehicle ? Are there differences in the locations of the holes drilled in the floor pan between buckets and a bench seat ? Why not a red stamp BENCH for the optional equipment instead of the red stamp BUCKET for the standard equipment ?

 

because they were for in plant use during production of cars, not for us to use 50 years later.

 

Across the Oldsmobile line bench seats were way more common than bucket seats. Even within the A-body line most cars got a bench seat. Think of all the 4 door Cutlass and stripper F-85's. So at the Fisher plant most of the time they installed bench seats with only the occasional bucket seat car.
Also there are extra brackets welded onto the floor pan for bucket seat cars.

 

Precisely, plus, to the guy throwing the seats in, he doesn't care which model it is.
