Hi everyone,
Getting ready to do a repop window sticker and wonder if anyone knows of Olds dealers in or around Hickory, NC in 1969? Is there a code on the Protecto-plate or the build sheet that would tell me? Thanks for your time.

 

I don't have the build sheet or Protect-o-plate but I have the
"Manufacturers Statement of Origin" my 442 was bought from
Regal Oldsmobile Inc. 210 Marshall Street Winston-Salem, NC.
There are some numbers in front of the Regal Oldsmobile not sure what they stand for but it's 16 661 maybe that was a number assigned to the dealerships by OLDS Corp???

 

Give me a little time and I can probably get you every dealer that was in Oldsmobile Charlotte Service Zone.

Right off the top of my head I'm going to say it would have been Bush in Hickory in 1969.

The POP should have the original selling dealer code embossed into it.

 

"16 661" was the Zone number (16), followed by the Dealer number (661). The Olds Dealer I worked for in Portland, Oregon was # 25 152.

 

Ok,
How do you decode the code on the protect-o-plate? Mine is 16-139.
Thanks guys.

 

16 is the zone, North Carolina. 139 is the dealer. We dont have a dealer code list for Oldsmobile. If you really have a build sheet and not a broadcast card, the dealer name will be on it.

 

TK-65,
I'm not sure what it is. It says across the top (OLDSMOBILE PRODUCTION CODE "B" 1969). So is that a broadcast card and not a build sheet? Thanks for the help guys.

 

This is a buildsheet.

 

Ok,
Well I guess I have a broadcast card then because what I have looks nothing like that.

 

Jon, check your PMs. Sent you a contact who can probably tell you.

 

On your buildsheet the first line all the way on the right where it say body type is that a BF or 8F?
