I've attached a picture of my trim tag (1955 S-88 4DR HT) - Anyone out there know how to decode the stuff circled in RED? The service manual tells you what the other codes are (paint, body, etc..), but the ACC and Trim Codes are not there - or maybe point me to an accessible source?

Thanks a lot

 

U2 = 4 way power seat

Still searching for the rest....

 

Very cool...and it does have that - what is the resource for this?

Thanks - maybe I could have posted it as a Trivia Question

(although since I don't know the answer I'd never know who was right!)

If you join AACA you can submit a request form from their extensive library for them to copy some docs for you.

I never realized that -

 

Not sure what they charge but I'm sure it's worth it. It is free to join though.

Olds Dad, Item #3 could be for accessory group (or package) number 3 (from dealer show-room book), which included heater & defroster, deluxe radio, rear seat speaker, windshield washer, deluxe steering wheel, clock, tilting rear view mirror, autronic-eye, oil filter, exhaust tip deflector, visor mounted vanity mirror, and lights for backup, hand brake warning, front seat courtesy, trunk, underhood and glovebox. Rear fender panels (skirts) are also listed in this group but with the tear-drop rear fender cutout on the Holiday sedans, it probably was not actually included.
Also, from an Olds factory car and accessory price list dated Nov. 3, 1954 the following:
K3: padded instrument panel
U2: 4-way electric seat adjuster
U4: electric window lifts (4 windows)

 

Awesome info guys!

Wow...I didn't realize you had posted this info...must have missed the email notification - thank you all so much - this is very very helpful.

 

This group exactly describes my car...thank you (again) Dave.

 

Incidentally - do any of you know if the cowl tags are supposed to be painted or are they supposed to be the bare aluminum?

 

All mine are painted the cowl color. DMc

 

Mine are also painted cowl color ... Tedd

 

Thanks for the book info./picture. Very useful to me.
