Hello everyone! I am looking at a 1966 Cutlass convertible and trying to decipher the numbers online without a lot of success. The Cutlass currently is a convertible with Red exterior and black interior. I am not able to decipher the "Interior code of 980-B" or the "Option Codes of W 2X" or the "5Y" or "N-2". Can someone please help??? Hopefully my 2 attachments of the door/cowl plates are viewable but below is the info.

Cowl numbers:
07D 4
66-33867 LAN11094
980-B N-2
W 2X
5Y

The door plate numbers are: 338676M432078

Thanks in advance for your help!!!

 

07D is the 4th week (D) of July (the 7th month.)
66-33867 is a 1966 Olds A body code, probably Cutlass Convertible.
LAN11094 is a Lansing Michigan plant serial number
980-B is your trim code. N-2 is color N lower body paint, 2 top color, which means ragtop of some color.
Your codes are: Group 1: W
Group 2: X
Group 5: Y.

5Y is deluxe seat belts. X I think is a transmission type.

Others will finish for me.

 

The cowl tag provides only information that related to Fisher Body Works (Lansing) when they cobbled your car body together prior to shipping it to final production

My car is a 66 Cutlass, convertible, Lansing car VIN338676M225198, Build date of 01-A, JAN 66 week 1. My Lansing plant serial number is 3556. My paint code is R-1 so it was Target Red with a white top, 980-B Black Vinyl Strato Bucket seats. It has had a black top for 30 years. This picture shows Target Red. Burgundy Mist is darker. Hope you get your car and post some pictures.
Thanks

"Currently?" It was something else before? What did it used to be?

 

Beautiful '66 and a convertible to boot.Was that called target red on the 66's

 

Thanks, I like it even though my goal originaly was Lucerne Mist (light blue). Target Red really grows on you.
Target Red on 65 and 66 Cutlass/442 was (R) paint code. Burgandy Mist was (N) code on 66 and 67. (N) code in 68 was just called Burgundy.
