Trim Tag Decode Help
Don't suppose you could post a picture from straight on.
Here's what I see.
Obviously this is an Oshawa built car. You can get the build sheet info from Vintage Vehicle Services.
Given the oblique angle, I can't tell if the first three characters in the top row are A31 (power windows), A81 (headrests) or something else.
A46 = four way power driver's seat
D55 = console and floor shifter
D99 = two tone paint
M40 = TH400 transmission
ST68 = 1968 model year
34487 = Oldsmobile (3) 442 (44) Holiday Coupe (87) Note that Oshawa was one of the first assembly plants to use the 344 model code on 442 cowl tags. Lansing kept using 336 tags until well into the 1969 model year.
OS = Oshawa assembly plant
316261 BODY = Fisher Body sequence number
TR947 = Parchment bucket seat interior
1-4-15 = built first shift (1) April (4) 15, 1968
ATA PAINT = Ebony Black (A) lower body color, Ivory (T) upper body color, Black (A) wheels

Further to Joe's definitive post:

Last I heard, it cost $100. It's probably gone up just like everything else, but still worth every penny.

The D99 two tone cars used the same trim to separate the colors as did the vinyl top. The top was not factory installed. For 1968 the vinyl top color would have been a digit in the paint code, not a letter. Plus, the tag would have the C08 code instead of the D99 code. Aftermarket vinyl tops were common in the 1970s.
