Kurt, from what I understand, mine is a Custom 3 seat...it didn't have a rack on it when I got it although I have since added it. The roof has been re-painted at one time, so it is possible there may have been one. I have the protecto-plate with the orig owners info. Conn car, I'm on LI. I guess I could do some research to find out if he still exists 45 years later and ask questions!
The POP could possibly shed some light. Can we get a pic?

Kurt, I tried several time to get a pic, but kept coming out overexposed. I will type out what the plate reads....
T719917 338655W439655
WJ-260 LA-14171-R
LL-960 303100
Hope this helps...if you need the info on the other plate(name plate), let me know! Also, I have a 1965 Olds Options and Accessories booklet that has codes etc. Guess if I could find my build sheet it would help?

Doubt you'll find a build sheet, as it is extremely rare to find one in a Lansing car.

Wow, thanks Kurt! The build sheet thing is a little depressing, I guess they were lazy on the assy line?!.....Yes, it is an M....I had my glasses upside down!

[QUOTE=ent72olds;95528]From what I heard the instructions at Lansing were to put them in the trash. Who knows why, but that seems to be what happened! Since their purpose was finished, it is totally plausible that someone though they were doing a better job to dispose of them rather than "litter" the car.
