Hello everyone! I am looking at a 1966 Cutlass convertible and trying to decipher the numbers online without a lot of success. The vehicle was made in July 1966 in Lansing but I cannot find a code book that shows what the proper exterior/interior color along with options. I know that 5V usually represents a 442 (except for CA made 442s). What is 5Y??

Cowl numbers for exterior/interior I cannot decipher:

980-B N-2
W 2X
5Y

 

Why the duplicate post? You already have the information you need on your other thread.

 

I did not phrase the question well the first time. I know what the codes are representing but looking for the definitions. The book I have and online tools for a 66 cutlass do not have what the cowl tag reads.

not trying to be obtuse but what's not clear about this information that was posted in your other thread???
Column 1
W = Tinted glass - Windshield only - (A02)
Column 2
X = Floor mounted Automatic Transmission - used with (D55)
Column 5
Y= Deluxe front and rear seat belts (A39)

From the 1966 Cutlass SPECS

 

The tinted windshield is a slightly blue piece of glass. GM tint is not much.

The transmission code is for an automatic, floor shifted, transmission, probably a ST-300 two speed.

Deluxe seat belts are the same belts, but a steel chromed buckle and a polished steel cover plate with a Fisher Body carriage on them.

 

Hi Allan,

Thanks for the info and sorry about the repost!! What is the name of the catalog used on your reply. I could not find this information online.

That is an excerpt from the 1966 SPECS booklet.
