D55 is a console and M40 is a TH400.

Greatly appreciate your help sir. Guessing remaining 752E50 has something to do with the exterior color.

It's a mystery to me but I'm sure there'll be somebody here who can shed some light on it.

Oshawa used a different paint code format from the other plants.

75 = Aztec Gold lower body color
2E = Parchment (E) vinyl top (2)
50 = white stripes

Also 34477 = Oldsmobile 442 Sport Coupe, specifically.

I thought the 50 might be cameo white but wasn't sure. Aztec gold with white stripes I had no idea. The car is currently a dark green that dosnt seem to quite match the color palettes I've seen so figured it wasn't the original.

Also had no clue it ever had a vinyl roof. Thanks so much for the info, as I'm just learning lol

If you look under your seats or inside the bucket rear panel you might find the "line sheet". A narrow strip of paper about 1 1/2" X 8". Will have your partial vin # and your options.

Not sure if you know or not but you can get the complete vehicle information as it came off the assembly line from www.vintagevehicleservices.com for a about $125.00

it will give you a whole lot more info than what’s on the plate
