3 = Oldsmobile
42 = Cutlass Supreme
57 = Holiday Coupe (notchback)
1 = 1970
Z = built in Fremont, CA
120703 = sequential build number

The 70-72 Cutlass Supremes used a squared off roofline with a more vertical back window than the other 2dr Cutlii. The former is usually called a "notchback" as opposed to the latter which are usually referred to as a "fastback". This is just popular nomenclature, not anything special.
