In case you can't see the photos here's the numbers off the tag

OLDSMOBILE DIV. GENERAL MOTORS
03B LANSING MI
STYLE 61-3667 BODY LA 1652
TRIM 934 PAINT N
ACC. 493

 

Don't worry, there's a number of people on here who can decipher these things. Someone will respond soon I'm sure.

One thing I do know is that the "03B" refers to the 2nd week ("B") of March ("03") as the build date for the car. So it was built in March 1961.

 

Jaunty75-----thanks for the response. looking forward to some help on this one!

 

Here's a little bit more .....

03B - assembled in March / second week

3667 - Starfire 2dr convertible

493 - accessory

 

Hurst68olds ---Thanks for the information. Do you happen to know if the Accessory code of 493 is for the headlight dimmer option? I have gone through this car and it seems that that is the only thing I can think of that was not standard on the 1961 Starfire's was the headlight dimmer and this one has it....any ideas? Thanks

 

From the information I have 493 is the code for both options D1 and D3 which are electric antenna and bi-phonic speaker system. This is from the '62 codes which I assume are the same for '61. I have not seen a similar list for '61.
