Any idea about what? Why your other cars don't have the options on the cowl tag? Because different assembly plants did it differently. Lansing (where your W-30 was built) didn't put most RPO codes on the tag.

In looking at a '67 CA built 442 body tag, I just added a long list of RPO's to a tab in my PN database

so far I only have '67, and a few '68-9 RPO's on the list. For the most part, one imagines, the same RPO code meant more or less the same thing across several years, but new ones had to be developed for example when disk brakes became available.

Jim, here is an idea.
These are the options for 1973-77 Cutlasses but some are the same. I've highlighted some that may be similar.


A01 - Tinted Windows
A31 - Windows - Power Side
A39 -
A46 -Not sure but A48 is seat belt delete
A82
A85
A91 - A90 is power trunk
B93 - Door Edge Moldings
C08 - C09 is vinyl top
C60 - Air Conditioning
D33 - Aux. Floor Mats - Rear
D55 - Front Compartment Console
JL2 - Front Disc Brakes - Power
M40 - Transmission - Automatic TH-400
N34 - Steering Wheel - Custom Sport
N40
N81
P02 -P01 is Wheel Discs 14"
UF1
U35 - Electric Clock
U69 - Radio - AM-FM Mono
U75 - Antenna, Power, Front Fender
U80 - Rear Speaker
W39
W84
Y60 - Lamp and Convenience Group
Z49 - Mandatory Base Canadian Equipment


Contact http://www.gm.ca/gm/english/shopping/parts/vintage and they will sell you a break down of options, dealership where car was purchased, numbers imported to Canada and a host of other information. I think it's $100 and it's information specifically about your car. Good luck.

They had that piece of paper to add options with
When they were done with it, it got tossed.

They foolishly believed they were just building transportation machines, not special things about which folks would later argue the exact shade of silvery gray used on the wheels, the percent gloss of the semi-flat black used underside, the amount of overspray to be found on the mufflers, etc.
