Maybe someone can help me: I could not find the VIN in regular sites.

It is a 1968, the dashboard has a plate Cutlass Supreme, but I´m not sure it is. It is a 350 engine with a 4 mechanic transmission.

VIN 3422878M117948

Plate shows:
BODY BY FISHER
09B
ST 68-34287 LAN121697 BODY
TR 973 D-D PAINT

Thanks

 

Welcome. Rather than resurrecting a five year old thread, here's your own.

The VIN decodes as follows:

3 = Oldsmobile division
42 = Cutlass Supreme (you have an extra "2" in there, which is a typo - 1968 VINs were only 13 characters)
87 = Holiday Coupe (2dr HT)
8 = 1968 model year
M = Lansing assembly plant
117948 = sequence number

The cowl tag shows:

09B = built second week (B) of Sept (09) 1967
ST 68 = 1968 model year
34287 = Oldsmobile (3) Cutlass Supreme (42) Holiday Coupe (87)
LAN = Lansing assembly plant
121697 = Fisher Body sequence number
TR 973 = blue bucket seat interior with Supreme upholstery pattern
D-D PAINT = Sapphire Blue Poly lower and upper body color

 

There exists a new improved Data Decoder which you might want to review for yourself. The individual who created the tool most likely keeps track of the number of times it's being used - which is good data.
I tried it for your vehicle and this is what I came up with (below). An image of your actual cowl tag would help, as well. The 1968 model year was (more or less) a transition year for cowl tag information the best I can understand. I have never been able to figure out what 973 refers to. Others will most likely chime in. Good luck.

 

EDIT: Joe beat me to it, and Joe's information will be far more accurate than the information I provided. Yet, there's an opportunity for you to attempt to try the new decoder tool (if you have a hankering to do so).

 

Norm, my experience with these decoder tools is that they are frequently incomplete and are A-body-centric. And a library of factory literature provides the same info with greater accuracy.

 

Joe, I agree with you. I wish I had the availability of literature you possess!

 

thank you Joe

. I'm brazilian and It was not easy for me to find information.

FYI, those are not the factory fasteners holding that cowl tag to the cowl, so it has been removed and reattached at some point.
