1970 Cutlass Supreme Data plate Decoder?
Hi. Just got my really nice 1970 Cutlass. I have always had old Fords; specifically Mustangs. there are many sites for classic Mustang Data Plate Decoding. Is there one for my Olds?
For those of you in the know, perhaps you can decode it for me;
ST 70-34257 BF15822 BODY
974 880 58M PAINT
07A 537555 08-157
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Matt

There are more numbers there than I am used to seeing. Looks like it is a Burnished Gold Cutlass Supreme Holiday Coupe built in the 1st week of July in Fremont with a gold bucket seat interior.
Can you post a picture of the cowl tag and I can make sure I interpreted the numbers you gave correctly.

Jeff,
I'll try to get a pic up but I havent figured out how to do it yet. From what I've researched, sometimes there was additional info added for options on the cars.
I did forget to put TR next to the middle line. But, the tag is very clean and clear, and all these digits are the same size and shapes, so I'm sure they all are part of the data.

Build Sheet
Hey Matt, I still believe the build sheet is on top of the gas tank. I never dropped it. That should give you all the codes. Let me know if you need any info. on the restore and if you would after it's cleaned up and cruising. I'd like to see it at a cruise. Even in the condition it's in it gets many looks. I know you'll do the Car right. I sold it to the right person.
Picture are in the mail...
Cheers, Tony
