I be leave i have a 1970 holiday coupe but im not sure and the Vin is a little worn down so little hard to see i think i have the numbers right.


ST 70 34487 G 25937
TR 933 20 20

thats all i could really make out on it.

I pitty the foo who don't have a book to decode his 442(sorry couldn't resist)

anyway bad humor aside:

70= 1970
3=oldsmobile
4487= 442 hardtop coupe
G= Framingham , MA plant (however I thought on the trim tag it should say FRA)
25937= production serial number
TRim- 933= blue bucket seats
20-20 = azure blue top and bottom

there should also be a date code on the trim tag like 01A=1st week of Jan 1 through 12 Jan-Dec, A through E first - 5th week

thank you, i found a site that tells me but it didn't tell me everything, I hate the blue color so i was thinkink of changing the interior color

foo

does the 87 mean holiday coupe?

Eric Anderson

Yep, holiday coupe is the olds name for the hardtop.

This reminds me of the story of the rare and legendary Foo bird that only can be found in the deepest and darkest tropical jungles.
If it's flying over and relieves itself on you don't touch the offensive matter until it dries or you will immediately die a horrible and painful death.

That's where the old saying comes from, "If the Foo sh*ts bear it"

That's not the VIN, it's the body data plate.

70 = 1970 model year
34487 = 442 Holiday Coupe (2dr HT)
G = Framingham, MA assembly plant
25937 = Fisher Body sequential build number (NOT the car sequential build no.)

TR 933 = Blue bench seat
20 20 = Azure Blue top and bottom

Eric Anderson

Joe I see you have 933 as blue bench seat, my book says blue bucket, just double checking which it is. Might have to edit my book

foo

i believe its bucket seats cause that's what is in it

joe_padavano

Sorry, my mistake.

Thanks for the correction.
