I've been searching for an internet site where I could decode the cowl tag on my '50 wagon. So far no luck. Could someone here give me a hand? It's an 88 Tin Woody
Here's the info on the tag

STYLE 50-3562
BODY NO. CL 1393
TRIM 44
PAINT 13
ACC. K

Thanks for your help

 

STYLE 50-3562 = 1950 Oldsmobile " 76 " ( 6 cyl ) Station wagon
BODY NO. CL 1393 = CL = Cleveland , Ohio body assembly plant . 1393 = sequential number
TRIM 44 = Tan cloth upholstery
PAINT 13 = Dune Beige https://www.autocolorlibrary.com/pag...ile-Car-Colors
ACC. K = ?
If this car has a V-8 engine in it , It's because someone put it there in the last 70 years .

 

Thanks Charlie

 

You may also find this link the the Classic Car Database handy. 1950 Oldsmobile
It looks like a fairly rare car given the limited production claim of 121 units.

 

I'm certain the ACC. K means two surfboards on the roof.

 

On a more serious note, I wonder, did Fisher Body have a special division that dealt with wood working? The craftsmanship in wood working that went into the era's woody wagons is actually pretty impressive and the reason why restored examples of woodies are so expensive. They are hard to restore!!

 

The 1950 station wagon bodies were actually made of wood -grained metal . Although the interior door panels etc , were made of real wood .
All the station wagon bodies were made in Cleveland , Ohio and shipped to the final assembly plants around the country .

 

Accessory code K is for foam rubber seat cushion pads.
