03B = time build code = March (03), second week of that month (B), 1968

ST 68 = style/model year = 1968

3 36 67: 3 = GM division = Oldsmobile; 36 = body type = Cutlass V8; 67 = body type = convertible

LAN = assembly plant = Lansing MI

300226 BODY = Fisher Body number (has no relationship to the VIN)

TR 940 = interior color and front seat type = black interior with bucket seats

N - 2 PAINT = lower body color and convertible top color = burgundy (N) with a black (2) convertible top

At this point, we don't know if you are dealing with a Cutlass or a 4-4-2. The VIN will tell you what it is. If the VIN starts with 336678M------, it is a Cutlass. If it starts with 344678M------, it is a 4-4-2.

Kind of an odd way to put it. The reason there's little info there is because they're little info to PUT there. The car is what it is. It doesn't have any options (at least of those that would appear on the tag), so there's no codes.

The reason they're crammed full is because the car has a lot of options. The correct exclamation is not "wow, not a lot of info." There's as much info as there needs to be for this particular car. The correct exclamation is, "wow, not a lot of options."
