Can anyone help me decode the tag on my 1966 Vista Cruiser? I am trying to determine the original color for the interior. There is an M-M before Paint on the tag, so I am pretty sure it was an Autumn Bronze exterior.

The numbers are below:

ST 66-33855
TR 978-A
WG 2X
5Y

Also, does anyone know of a company that manufactures seat covers or headliner for a Vista Cruiser?

Thanks!

 

66 = model year
3 = Oldsmobile
3855 = 2-seat Vista Cruiser station wagon
LAN = Lansing assembly plant
04A = built 1st week of April 1966
M, M (lower and upper body color) = Autumn Bronze for both
978-A = bronze vinyl bench front seat
W = tinted windshield
G = ?
2X = floor-mounted automatic transmission (didn't know you could get a wagon with this, does your car have it, or is my information wrong?)
5Y = deluxe seat belts


As far as seat covers, everyone on here raves about Legendary and SMS. Whenever I've needed a seat reupholstered, though, I've just taken it to a local auto upholstery shop and picked something from his catalog that was a good match and went with that.

 

We just went through this in another thread. In the 1966 model year, 2X was automatic trans, not floor shift. Obviously the bronze bench seat interior is not compatible with a floor shift automatic, and there were NEVER bucket seats installed in a VC from the factory.

 

Cool. Thanks.

 

This is interesting as the G is in the first position so should be in option code group 1 but there is no G in that option group that I can find in my info. Definitely as Joe points out not possible in group 2

A mystery

 

I don't know why people think 2X means floor shift AT for the 1966 model year. It DID mean that for 1965, but not in 1966. See this thread.
