Could someone please help me decode this tag or tell me where to go to decode it myself?

 

Sure

69 = 1969
34477 = Oldsmobile 442 Sports Coupe
OS = Oshawa, CA Body Plant
515131 = Body Unit Number
940 = Black in color themed interior
10C = 3rd week (C) of October 1968 begin build date
757510 = Paint code I will have to check my other resources and get back as I am grilling at the moment
A52 = Notch Back Bench Seat
M40 = TH400 Transmission

 

I looked and came up empty. This is possibly a special order paint code and I am overlooking it If you just have to know maybe these guys can help

I wonder if it is supposed to be 75-75 (Aztec Gold upper and lower) but the 10, I am not sure about. Looks like the PNT part of the tag is overwritten? Maybe 10 is the wheel color, Ebony Black? That would be a nice color combo...

 

If you look close it appears the 757'510' is stamped over the 'PN'T

 

Could the 10 be the stripe color on the hood. When I blasted it I found gold with blk hood stripes under the yellow paint

 

Scot - that code for PNT? I think there's more to it than 757510. Look a bit closer and it's clear that there's another 1 followed by what looks to be a T. I'm wondering if the 10 might be a reference to wheel color, and 1T might be a reference to white vinyl top? Sounds like a crazy combination, and this is just a guess off the top of my head. I also looked for paint code and couldn't find that number

 

As it is a Canadian built car, why not use their resources to i.d. it?

 

Good catch Chris...too bad it took me 30 minutes to complete my reply, and post more promptly so I didn't just repeat your post.Sheesh

 

Thank you all for your help in decoding this for me. Now that I know more about the car I can restore it the way it needs to be. I do not have the original motor as my father cracked the block and just threw it away a long time ago. I guess it is time it gets the 455 motor and other modifications since it is mine and I will not be selling it.

 

Allan that extra 1 is part of the N I believe you are talking about and the T well it and the N are all part of the PNT, I'm still looking for the P But you may be on to something about the wheel color.
No doubt Dan I would for mine if it was available. One can never have too much documentation.
What year did your Dad buy it? I think a 455 would be an excellent engine choice.
