7-900 is Superior Oldsmobile out of Detroit.
Back before the mid seventies Oldsmobile employees could buy direct from the factory. Aka product delivery which was just off the corner of Olds st. and Logan. If memory serves, the 73 Delta my dad ordered was picked up the product delivery but by 1976 the local dealers were squawking so much that Olds said all employees need to get their new cars from the local dealers. Only difference was the destination charge for a car that only had to go as little as 3 miles. Dads 76 ninety eight recency company car was delivered from Recency Oldsmobile out of Grand Ledge which was 10 miles from plant 1.

A major breakthrough that may help some of you out that know your code, but not the dealership; I decided to contact GM of Canada since they have extensive records of cars that were built in Canada and shipped to the states. You can contact:

I talked to a gentleman named George and explained I wasn't looking for a historical report on a vehicle but a small piece of information. Within minutes, they had found the matching dealer. At that point, he sent me the payment info. It cost me less than $20 USD and was well worth it. Once payment was received, he sent me a PDF copy of the official letter and a followup via regular mail with a receipt is on the way. Top notch all the way. I'm not saying they will be able to help everyone in my situation, but a lot of cars came south from Oshawa. 🙂
It was not a Pontiac Dealer. Strictly Oldsmobile. The name was Roberts Motors Inc in Auburn, WA and only recently closed it doors and sold the property to a used car dealer. The Pontiac folks actually have a decent list if codes and matching dealers. Your Wallace Racing link has a pretty good data base and there are couple of others as well.
Hi Guys, After reading through these posts I came across some pictures of old OLDSMOBILE Dealers that I though might be of some interest to the owners of 1950's-60's & all Oldsmobiles. To check it out: go to EBAY then type in auction # 280614463649... The listing ended but scroll down to the recommendations and then look at the old OLDSMOBILE Dealers from the 1950's-60's from all around the country. You can even enlarge and print the photo if you want...It's pretty cool to see the different types of buildings from that era and to see the cars @ the dealership that were for sale.I hope this is Interesting to You.....
TK65, I hope that you understand that I'm not trying to lead your thread in a different direction.....Enjoy~
Hello everyone, I realize this is an old post , However I still checked ebay without any success. Does anyone have a list of Oldsmobile dealers that were in business in Massachusetts's. Thank you.

I've got one to add, from my '78 Toronado. Crippen Oldsmobile, Inc., 1815 N. E. 123rd Street, North Miami, FL 33161
The dealer zone and code appears to be 26-229. The zone 26 is consistent with "Jacksonville" in the spreadsheet (also in Florida), and the same code is noted elsewhere on the invoice besides next to the dealer name (red arrows).
So I, now, live in the town where the blue car was sold new. I moved to Ironton OH in1980. The selling dealer was Keys Motors, which I remember from before I lived in this town, it later became Bob Clyse Oldsmobile until Oldsmobile was gone.
I guess the dealer code is 09 436.
I bought the blue 66 in 1993 from the second owner who bought it in 1991. I have the protecto plate and the rest of the glove box books.
I thought I would post the Shipping order and the original title (Copies).
I live at 2023 S. 7th St. The original owner lived at 2404 S. 9th St. So the car now lives in a garage just 6 blocks from the garage where it spent the first 25 years. It has been in my garage for, yep, 25 years.
I just picked up a 1969 442 Holiday coupe.
its about a ten year old restoration. The previous owner who wasn’t much of a car guy sold it because he was having some trouble in his personal life. Needless to say he had no paperwork on the vehicle. I went over the vehicle and quickly confirmed the partial vin on the block and the 12 bolt Chevy 3.55 rear as a Canada built olds should have.
got a good deal on a nice car minus paper work.
i got a hold of George Zapora at Vehicle Vintage Services in Oshawa Canada. From the vin he was able to document and confirm what I was certain was a nice matching numbers base 442.
The one thing I can’t get an answer on is the dealer code.
its 01-522. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you! That is very helpful. I’m just getting the feel of this car. Kind of back engineering the history of it. Although is a finished car I pulled out most of the interior yesterday after only setting out the find the front bucket seat belt bolt holes on the tunnel as the female ends of the belts were missing.
Doesn’t feel like my car until I turn all the bolts,
thanks again

1979 H/O. Would like to trace history if anyone has info from back in the day.
Have it traced back to being traded in and bought at Thomas Motors in The Dalles OR.
Sometime in 1999.
Here's a few more from around here I haven't seen mentioned. Don't have any codes for them but if they show up in that list Lee found, here they are.
Pittsylvania Motor Company, Chatham VA (in business for one year, 1950)
Black Cadillac-Olds, Greensboro NC (the ones who ordered 50 Rallye 350s and sold all but about ten of them. They repainted those and stuck chrome bumpers on them to move them)
Stuart-Bowman Olds-Cadillac, Asheboro NC
Royal Oldsmobile, Winston-Salem NC (Royal had a pile of dealerships scattered all over. I know of them in W-S, Richmond VA and Lynchburg VA)
Highland Oldsmobile, High Point NC

There was also one in Western NC called Sparky's, but I cannot find any mention of it anywhere now.

Moore Chev-Olds, Clarksville VA
Templeton Oldsmobile, Tysons Corner VA
Olmstead Oldsmobile, Arlington VA
Suttle Olds-Cad, Newport News VA
Christie Chev-Olds, West Point VA

The Service Guilds used to include photos of Training Center classes and included the tech's name and dealership. I'll look thru some of those and see what comes up. I know I've seen Overvold mentioned in there along with a bunch of California dealers.

Reason: More stuff.
My '67 W30 was purchased new at
McEwain Oldsmobile
812 Beaver Ave.
Ellwood City, Pa. 16117
Dealer code: 06 555
They are still in business as a GM dealer and owned by the same family. They also have a collection of Oldsmobiles.
I bought my '70 442 from Henry Faulkner Oldsmobile and Cadillac, Cottman and Algon Streets, Philadelphia, PA. When I ordered my car, I asked that the dealer not put the Faulkner chrome nameplate on my trunk. I also asked that they provide the window sticker. My car came in. I was happy. Faulkner did not put their name on my car. Unfortunately, Faulkner did not save the window sticker.
Around 1971, I was installing a burglar alarm to protect my car. I had to lift the rear seat to run wires. I found a card listing options, but no prices. Since the card didn't have prices, I discarded the card. Years later, I learned that I had discarded the broadcast card for my 1970 W30 convertible!!
Who knew??
Other Philadelphia dealers were Crisconi Oldsmobile in South Philly and Jones Oldsmobile on Germantown Avenue in Philly. Crisconi Odsmobile had a beautiful Art Deco neon dealer sign that I remember, Another member captured the Oldsmobile neon sign on South Broad Street in a photograph in an earlier post. Take a look at that sign!! (Post number 76)
