1947 Olds Vin decoding

I am trying to decode the data from the name plate on the firewall. I know the car was built in Oshawa Ontario Canada and is a 1947 Oldsmobile. It is a 6 cyl 3 speed manual trans on the column. I think is is a 66 but it is a 4 door.

Serial number is 7351904169 model 35-19 Engine serial number is C846541

Trim 372 Paint 707 Body 2476

Any suggestions?

GM of Canada has kept detailed records of cars built in Canada. If your car was built in Oshawa, ON Canada, you can phone GM Canada and request this restoration packet. This is not a genuine build sheet but it is the next best thing.

Not sure how far back they go but it may be worth a try to call them up and see what they have to offer.
