Welcome to Classic Oldsmobile!

Post a picture of the cowl tag and someone will decode it.
Also post some pictures of the Rallye 350.

I have never owned one but I love Rallye 350's. I do know it is supposed to have two dashes (- -) for the paint code.

scottrod

Thanks , I’m still trying to figure this out!

scottrod

scottrod

Can't help with the code, but love the car. What part of BC are you in? Southern Vancouver Island, here.

B90 is an option code. It means "chrome door window frames". A very nice Rallye 350!

What's your specific question about the cowl tag?

scottrod

I was wondering what the b90 meant ?
sounds like it means chrome window trim which I have! Thanks guys it’s so cool to chat with Oldsmobile lovers!!

redoldsman

I think that is the nicest Rallye I have seen on here. Is that a recent restoration?

scottrod

2006 restored, all original numbers matching to.

oldoldss

Back to the original question:
70 = 1970 model year
33277 = F85 V-8 Sport Coupe (the model which Rallye 350's were built from)
LAN = Assembled in Lansing, MI
38076 = [Fisher body number]
900 = Black bench seat
[blank] = Paint code (blank is common for Rallye 350's)
02D = Assembled fourth week (D) of February (02)
B90 = Chrome window frame moldings

Very nice looking machine!!
i actually like those grilles better than my 442 ones…must be because they remind me of the 69.

sweet ride…enjoy..

I have to agree. Beautiful car.
If you are in Canada and it was sold there are you hip to knowing that you can get Canadian Documents that tell you exactly what you have?

Just my opinion and Olds never offered it but I would build a killer W-31 based motor for that car in a heartbeat.

Not saying that you should do that. Your car really is one of the nicest Rallye 350's I also have seen. I would definitely get all the documents that you can from Canada on that car. Oh sorry IWDGATYC.

scottrod

Thanks guys!

Are you working on the cowl? I notice the screen is missing in the picture? Car presents very nicely, congrats...

scottrod

Goog eye! Just cleaning and painting it. I do parts one at a time now as maintenance, it works for me.

tnswt

Completely understand

scottrod

That’s the opticlean Gm washer bottle , it was available in 1970 cars.
mine didn’t have it originally but, its period correct and it’s a great spot to put grampa juice in at car shows👌

I just picked one of these up form original owners brother. (supposedly) any way to verify that is the ownership history? Also I know there are several unique things to help verify it's a true Rallye 350 but other then the build and window sticker no real way (narrow it down with serial numbers and of course Lansing manufactured. And we all know Lansing was notorious for not putting in the build sheets.) Where under the carpet should I look for the sheet?

I also have another Rallye 350 that was my high school friends, we use to run around in it an later years he gave it to me. Its the real deal and body is rusted off it but everything is there.
I also know where there is another real deal Rallye 350 body from Texas with original paint and never been hit. Trying to get it from the guy but he just lets it sit out back of his shop in a little junk yard he has.

These things seem to just find me. But I love these cars.
