I have the Canadian documents for my 72 W-30. It has no information about the radio. Does this mean it had the standard AM radio or did the Canadian documents not list the radio options?
Another thing I noticed, It says 30 W-30 cars were sent to Canada. Is there a way to determine how many were convertible?

Another thing I noticed, It says 30 Is there a way to determine how many were convertible? I suspect they would have provided this information to you had it been available to them. Still, it might be worth a call or E-mail to VVS for clarification.
Since the model number (34267) designates a supreme convertible and the number of vehicles imported is based on the model number, it looks like 805 cutlass supreme convertibles were imported to Canada. With 30 of those convertibles optioned as a W30. I could be wrong though, and VVS may also have the info of 4 speed vs. auto convertibles which would be interesting to know.
No radio was "standard" in 1972. Even the RPO U63 AM pushbutton radio was a $73 option over the base price, even on the Cutlass Supreme. It's possible that the radio was dealer-installed.
Do the documents show RPO X24 Canada Retail Service and RPO Z49 Mandatory Canada Base Equipment Modification?

I was not looking at it that way but now I read what you are saying that makes since. They only made 113 so 30 going to Canada is a large number.
