Can someone help me clarify something on my Rallye 350?
Below is part of a article from Hemming's on the numbers production on the Rallye 350. I have underlined below the VIN that matches my Rallye and it states that the sports coupe is know by having a post which my Rallye has a post but my Vin Matches the club coupe. Can someone tell me if the club coupe also has a post?
Feature Article from Hemming's As previously stated, Olds built 3,547 Rallye 350s; 2,527 based on the Cutlass Holiday Coupe body and 1,020 on the base F-85 Club Coupe. The remaining 160 were based on the F-85 Sport Coupe, which has a B-pillar, or "post." There was no stainless trim on the post. A Holiday Coupe's VIN begins with 33687. The F-85 Club Coupe is 33277 and the F-85 Sport Coupe's VIN begins with 33677.


I have also included the link for the article.

Thank you.

 

They screwed up as the Club Coupe name wasn't used in 1970.

 

"A Holiday Coupe's VIN begins with 33687. The F-85 Club Coupe is 33277 and the F-85 Sport Coupe's VIN begins with 33677. "

=================
Incredibly, an inaccuracy appears in print regarding an Oldsmobile.
33687:
3 = Oldsmobile
_36 = Cutlass of some sort; see the Chassis Service Manual for specifics which vary by year
_32 = F-85 of some sort, ditto the above line
___77 = post coupe; whether you call it "sport" or "club" matters little.
___87 = Holiday coupe, no post.
___67 = Convertible.

These body style digit definitions remained the same over several years

I have 1968 models
34477 and 34467
So, you can read from that... Olds, 442, one post car, one convertible.

 

The F85 was the base, low budget model 2dr Sports Coupe 3277, and had the post, The Cutlass S, was the next level up, it was available as a 2dr Sports coupe, 3677 and had the post. Also on the Cutlass S lineup was the 2dr Holiday Hardtop, 3687, it had no post.

 

Great, Thanks. I was hoping that mine was the rare model but I am very happy with it and will keep it anyway

 

Olds did use both the terms "Club Coupe" and "Sport Coupe" in the 1960s to refer to post cars. As noted, by the 1970 model year the Club Coupe designation was dropped.

One of the reasons I stopped subscribing to Hemmings Muscle Machines years ago was the frequent factual errors.
