Request for cowl #'s decode.

For a buddy, pretty sure he has a 66 442 here.

11C 4
66-33817 LAN5440
980-B M-M
W 2KX
4C 5V

Third week of November of 65 production Cutlass Supreme Holiday Hardtop Coupe
5440 in order down the Lansing line, I think it's starting at 1001.

Strato buckets, black.

Autumn Bronze all over

Soft Ray Windshield
Air Conditioning.
Floor mounted Auto Trans. (but no console)
Chrome window side moldings.
442.

Fixed error. X has some ambiguity. I believe it is an auto shifter without the G code console, which is odd.

I'm a 67 guy, so it took a little more looking. But, yes, that is a 66 Lansing 442.

It's the V in column 5 (5V) that determines the 442 in 66/67. You are correct in your assessment.
