Good Afternoon, New to the Forum,
Need help with Cowl Tag decoding

Thank you

CV Cowl Tag

Found this build sheet under the back seat

 

Give it a shot (easy), a CO member created it >>> https://datatagdecoder.com/

 

Looks like no Y74 ACC Group in the decoder. Someone most likely will chime in.

 

Broadcast card demonstrates a specific build date of 04-10

 

So did you buy a new to you car? Is it restored? Have you always been an Oldsmobile guy? We love pictures. Can you show us your car?

 

I believe the Y74 verifies a real Pace Car... and that's a good thing in our world of clones and fakes.

 

Congrats on the pace car. Obviously, Y74 signified the pace car option. Since it's built the 2nd week of April, this isn't going to be on the list of cars sent to Indy for the race as those had earlier build dates.

 

Lovely piece of paper right there!

April 10, 1970 was a Friday, just making the 2nd week of April: 4B... I would be interested to know the build date from the build sheet...

My car is a December 20 (also a Friday) broadcast date, 12C cowl tag, and day after Christmas build date. Delivered January 7. My father's birthday was January 10... 3 weeks to the day from assembly line to birthday burn!

Did anyone mention we love pics?!?!?

Welcome and enjoy!!


Also note that your body number can be cross checked from cowl tag to broadcast card. You can also cross check the interior and paint/color codes. Documentation matters!!

 

Original Poster has one post this website. I am guessing they purchased a car that they are completely unfamiliar with. Flipper maybe?..

 

Yep, Flippy McFlipperson just got had at his own game.

 

Well, that's easy enough. Look for a Pace Car around Carlisle that is for sale and see if they have a decoded cowl tag that matches the one above.

It's too bad people can't come on here and just say, hey I'm a flipper and need this info. My guess is the info would come anyway because it's good info to get out and then it's available to just look up. Of course peppered amongst would be contemptuous ridicule and mockery.

 

New to Oldsmobile
It was a one owner car
It's original with a paint touchup on the drivers door



this photo is from day 1, the ram air is off but its original including the foam

 

not a flipper, but if you would like me to be
Obviously you guys love to bully people into believing what you want them too

Just a guy, looking for info on a new car

Holy crap man

I'm a collector

I'm new to Olds
Currently have a 68 GTX
78 Lil Red Express and 1 72 VW Beetle Baja my Son and I built

 

I added more photos, the vin minus 2 digits and the location where the build sheet was under the back seat

 

I added more photos,

Do you know why there is no info on the options?
Did they not do this in 70?

 

What you show is a Fisher Broadcast Card, not a build sheet. The only options on the Broadcast Card are those things that the body had to have when it left Fisher Body. A Lansing build sheet would show all the options, including those installed during assembly in Lansing but unfortunately you're probably not going to find that in a Lansing car

 

Congrats and enjoy

Amen. Enjoy your car. Sorry for the jabs. So many scammers in the Oldsmobile world these days. Your car looks solid. Honestly the non perfectly clean top makes me like it more.
