Canadian Documents

I have the Canadian documents for my 72 W-30. It has no information about the radio. Does this mean it had the standard AM radio or did the Canadian documents not list the radio options?

Another thing I noticed, It says 30 W-30 cars were sent to Canada. Is there a way to determine how many were convertible?

Since the model number (34267) designates a supreme convertible and the number of vehicles imported is based on the model number, it looks like 805 cutlass supreme convertibles were imported to Canada. With 30 of those convertibles optioned as a W30. I could be wrong though, and VVS may also have the info of 4 speed vs. auto convertibles which would be interesting to know.

No radio was "standard" in 1972. Even the RPO U63 AM pushbutton radio was a $73 option over the base price, even on the Cutlass Supreme. It's possible that the radio was dealer-installed.




Do the documents show RPO X24 Canada Retail Service and RPO Z49 Mandatory Canada Base Equipment Modification?

I was not looking at it that way but now I read what you are saying that makes since. They only made 113 so 30 going to Canada is a large number.

that does seem really high. considering Canada is a northern climate where fewer convertibles were ordered.

the number’s usually work out to about 10% which would be 11 or 12. I would ask them to double check

they made a mistake on my docs on the number of 68 442’s shipped to Canada
