Cowl Tag Decode again

Does anyone have the site for how to decode your own tag? I've searched a ton but can only find people's specific examples of their tag.
So if someone can give me a site or place to decode my own, that'd help me as well as a ton of other people.

If not, can someone decode this?

st 68 33667 8l 539
tr 945 r2

I know it means a 68 cutlass V8 convertible built in 1968 in Van Nuys, CA.
I know the R2 means Scarlet color with a black top.

I don't know what the 539 or 945 means.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Jim

The 8L should be BL and that stands for Linden, NJ Body plant and 539 would be the Fisher Body unit #

945 = Garnet Red in color themed interior with Strato bucket seats

Thanks Scot.
So my car actually is an original scarlet red with dark "garnet" red interior convertible? Wondering who would've ordered a car like that.

Is there anything for oldsmobile that tells you how many of what options and colors were ordered, something like Pontiac has the PHS?

Unfortunately no. Except for the ones built after '77 I believe.
