I have that option as the last one on a build sheet. It was a customer ordered car and can't seem to find the meaning.

Mr Shifty Sidney

The only info that I could find is the following:

Y68 By Pass Color - Trim Edit

I do not know exactly what this means. Hope it helps.

What is the color and interior of the car? Is this the gold one?

jstrits

Yes. I think you and I discussed this before.

Diego

The only thing I remember is that I couldn't figure it out either.

Remind me which gold it was?

jstrits

Galleon

Diego

Is it possible it was a stripe-delete? Or some trim combo that normally wasn't offered (I know Galleon Gold was available with gold stripes, so there goes that theory)?

mcalvo

My SX convertible has this option as well and my current theory is it deleted the black stripe down the CS lower mouldings..

reviving this topic if anyone knows. Y68 as an option on a freemont build sheet "COLOR COMP EX"

Koda

As far as I know, that's a code to void the common color arrangements. "Yeah, he wants the red body, white top, yellow stripe, and blue interior. I don't know either, but he ordered it."

Color Compatibility Exempt(ion) or Exception?

hurst68olds

there are 4 (complete) build sheets posted in the other thread w/"Y68" on them:build sheet 1970 box 44 questions

two of them are "galleon gold" with "gold" interior & "brown" vinyl top - not a recommended combination - an "EXEMPTION" would make sense

the third is "nugget gold" with "gold" interior & "galleon gold"? stripes - why would it require an "EXEMPTION"? too much "GOLD"?

the fourth is "burgundy" with "black" interior & top and "white" stripes - again, why? I see no color compatibility issues.

from my charts, the galleon gold with brown top and gold interior (my car in question) all show as oldsmobile recommended colors. They show gold stripes as acceptable on a code 55 car and the brown top is also acceptable with galleon gold code 55. some of the other golds were not recommended with the brown top.
