Never saw the H stuck between the 4 & V?
Anyone care to do a break down?
Thanks!

65?

 

In 1965, Group 4H was the RPO B84 upper body side moldings. 4V is the W29 package. 5W is the deluxe seat belts.

The B84 moldings are the stainless trim that runs front-to-back just below the fender peak. Available on any F85 or Cutlass that year.

 

hence the "H" trim moniker.

 

I think there's a misunderstanding. 4V is not a code. The code is V in group 4. This car has a second code, H, in group 4, hence 4HV.

442 trim is code V, in the 4th group, and it will be shown 4V when there is nothing else. Or, it can be shown 4HV with this car. There could also be at least a C and a D for other moldings on this. Group 4 seems to be exterior moldings for 65.

 

Exactly, which is why the V code for W29 is also there. The fake side scoops were the "molding" that Fisher Body cared about.

 

Got it Joe. Thanks.
Did not know the "V" was the sole designation for the W-29 package.
I always saw 4V and though THAT was the code.
Now I know!

Just for clarity, Fisher Body used a five group format for accessory codes for the 1963-67 model years (except that use wasn't consistent at some plants, like Fremont). The "1" for Group 1 was "silent" apparently, so the digit "1" wasn't used on the cowl tag (presumably to avoid mistaking it for the letter "I"). The leading digits 2 through 5 represented the ACC Group that the subsequent letters applied to.

 

Any body modification required a code for Fisher. The holes in the quarter panels are what the 4V means. The H chrome also required body mods. The 2L or B meant a floor hole for a manual shifter.
