69 442 cowl tag
I've read on another site that the 1969 442 cowl tags stated the Cutlass body code (33687) rather than the 442 code (34487) at least through March of the 1969 production.
Was this for all 442s ? For some ? Only in Lansing ?
Given the above assumption, and with not seeing a lot of 442s around to compare, it struck me as odd that one that I saw recently with an early build date had the correct 34487 code on the cowl tag.

curious
I've always wondered that if thats true then why does every Cutlass Supreme I've seen (68-69 which have the same body as a 442) have a 342 body tag and others (F- 85,etc.) seem to always have the correct body tag. It just seems a little fishy to me, especially when I know how simple it is to change a vin tag. My 69 442 has the correct 344 body tag.

Makes sense
I guess I wasn't thinking about the upholstery and trim, only the body. So that makes sense. Mine was made in Fremont, Ca. and here in the midwest I see a lot of Cutlass tags on 442s so it could have been a Lansing thing.
