Help decoding vin tag for '71 Cutlass SX
I need help decoding tag. I search and found 43 to stand for Lime Green exterior, G - I believe for Green Convertible Top. Not sure of the interior bucket seats, Jade Green?
Thanks!

That's not a "VIN tag". The VIN is not printed on it.
That's a Fisher Body cowl tag, which is installed on the body before the VIN is even assigned on the assembly line. It decodes as follows:
ST71 = Style 1971 model year
34267 = Oldsmobile division (3) Cutlass Supreme (42) convertible (67)
LAN = Lansing assembly plant
294757 = Fisher Body sequence number (not the VIN sequence number)
TR 972 = Jade bucket seat interior
43 G PNT = Lime Green lower body color (43) with green convertible top (G)
02B = built second week (B) of Feb (02) 1971

It ain't easy being green...
Friend always said GM got a good deal on green paint those years. Chrysler must have too, as much green as they put on cars.
Gotta say green convertible top is seldom seen.
