My father passed away last year, and left behind his 57 Olds Super 88. I’m starting my research in hopes of finish his dream of restoring it to its former glory. Anyway, I’m running into some troubles deciding the cowl tag, and was hoping for some help.Style: 57-3639SD
My understanding thus far is:
-57: 1957
-3: Oldsmobile
-6: golden rocket 88
-39sd????

Body No: L12912
no idea what this means

Trim: 379
No idea what this means

Paint: 60-60-20
I understand that the paint codes are for nose/hood - top/trunk - accent stripe. 60 for Alcan White & 20 for Festival Red

Any assistance helping me fill in the gaps above, or correcting my assumptions, will be GREATLY appreciated!

much thanks,
Matt
