Build sheet question
Found my build sheet for my 77 Cutlass. Thought it would be cool to try and find an original dealer emblem to put back on the car. What does my build sheet mean? See pic. Thanks Al

My speculation is that your car was a company car assigned to a territory manager for NJ. I goggled that address as of 2012 it was a truck yard, I see Delmonte sign on the post.
FYI 03 is a Philadelphia regional office code which NJ fell under. That address is very close to phily.

Yea I googled it as well. Just a big patch of dirt with some trucks there. So probably after he was done with it, it went to a used car lot probably in the Philadelphia area to be sold to the public? Thanks for your input guys.

That address is a "charged to" address. The "ship to" address is blank. That suggests that Pat is correct and that the car was never shipped nor sold through a dealer. If this is true, the OP's desire to find an appropriate dealer emblem would be pointless as there was no dealer involved. It would be interesting to see the entire build sheet.

My dad's best friend Ray was a Regional Manager for Chevrolet from late 70's-90's based in Tarrytown, NY. When my dad wanted a new car Ray would order it as a company vehicle directly from GM for 3-6 months and then it was sold through a local Chevy dealer to my dad as a "used" car. Ray did this for his family and friends. My dad would order the car through Ray exactly as he wanted it. In the case of our 84 Malibu wagon (which is the one I remember the most), I think Ray had it for less than a month.
Ray was eventually the regional rep for Corvette but I couldn't talk dad into that one.....lol.... Dad bought an 87 Mustang convertible (which I still have) for his retirement

I can post more pics of the build sheet if you want. Kinda interesting my car didn’t take the usual way into the market. I had a GTO that said it was an overseas distribution and had no dealer on its build sheet as well. I must have a knack at finding these weird cars. Anyways thanks for the help and theories based on my build sheet. Keep them coming if you have more. Al

I am the one who is selling those bucket seats. If I keep the car a long time, I may consider doing the entire change over. I’m currently waiting on my upholstery shop to finish my custom bucket seat. I am having him cut down the seat pictured so I can have pillow top bucket seats. Custom yet still very factory looking. Trans Am buckets still available for 450 OBO.
