OH! OH! Mr. Kotter! Mr. Kot-ter!

ST69 = 1969 Model year
34487 = Oldsmobile 442 Holiday Coupe (2dr hardtop)
BF = Fremont, CA assembly plant
03465 BDY = Fisher Body sequential build number (not the VIN sequential build number)

TR940 = Trim code for black bench seat interior
B80 = stainless roof rail drip moldings
57 B PNT = Glade Green paint with Black vinyl top

04E = built during the fifth week of April, 1964

Clearly I type too slowly.

Note that 04E is the FIFTH week of April

By the way, the fifth week of April 1969 ran from Sunday the 27th to Wednesday the 30th, so the car was built sometime between Apr 28 and Apr 30.

(Yeah, I just googled "perpetual calendar"... )

The current version is now the Oldsmobile Wiki at: http://www.oldsmobilewiki.com

Should also be noted that the code meaning *can* change from year to year, so a composite list in not always accurate.

How do you plan on using it? How much will it take to get it where you want it? Post some pics, to get some input.
