Hey folks,

So I managed to wire brush most of the spray paint off of the cowl tag, and it's "readable". Can someone please help me decode this? Couldn't find enough info to do this myself.

This should help (from Year One).

 

Ok so from that I can gather --

ST 72 36467LAN247522 BDY
It's a 1972 Oldsmobile "67" which has to be a Delta 88 Convertible. Made in Lansing, MI. Unit number 247522.

TR 347 69 A PNT
No idea what 347 is. 69 seems to be the body color (nutmeg, GM code WA4261) and A I suppose is the top color.

09D A65
Made in the 4th week of September. What is 'A65' ?

347 is the interior color code I believe. A it the color of the convertible top....white I believe.
I'm guessing the interior is either white or gold in color?

 

Yeah the interior is white. The convertible top is "white" now but I know it has been replaced in the past.

 

Correct on most
364 = Delta 88 Custom
67 = Drop Top
347 = White in color themed interior with vinyl seats
Nutmeg is correct
A = White Convertible Top
Correct on the begin build date code
A65 = RPO code for the notch back front bench seat

 

Thanks for the help, everyone!

 

Is this correct? I thought the last year for the Delta 88 Custom was 1971, and through all the years there was a Delta 88 Custom ('67 though '71), it was never offered as a convertible.

According to the '72 factory service manual, the 36400 series was the Delta 88 Royale.

For '72, the only Delta 88's were the base model and the Royale, and the convertible came only as a Royale.

 

You're right I believe Jaunty, 88 Royale vert not custom. I was in a rush the morning
