in search of build sheet, found this!
1969 Cutlass S with 48k original miles..unrestored and untouched. i decided to try to find the build sheet/broadcast sheet. i pulled the rear seat out last night and found some documentation. i'm assuming this is a portion of the build sheet that was given to the upholstery guy, (basically all it contains is body color, interior number and body number) it was actually attached to the rear seat framework with hog ties. i went ahead and pulled the seat back out also, and didn't find anything else. where would the most likely place to find the build sheet on a Lansing october 68 built car?? thanks! Rick

You will be extremely lucky to find a build sheet on a Lansing car. The assembly people were pretty thorough about removing things that weren't supposed to be there and the build sheet was one of them.
Places to look, just in case: Above the gas tank (between the tank and the tank pad), behind a bucket seat back, behind a rear seat side panel, behind a door panel, stuffed up in the dash.

I wouldn't tear the car apart looking for it. If it was supposed to be in the car it would be in the document folder given to whoever bought it new.
Some factories were sloppy about removing them, apparently Lansing wasn't.
The sheet you found was supposed to be there, or it wouldn't be hog tied to the seat.
But you might get lucky, people win lotto jackpots after all.

You would be totally grossed out knowing some of the things I found under the back seat of cars when I was installing stereos. I once took the rear seat out of a 73 Nova and found actual plants growing. Your car is practically sterile!

When I worked at Framingham in 1972, there was no separate Fisher Body plant providing the bodies. They were all built on the same assembly line.
