I have updated the dealer code list. It now has 1900+ codes after my trip to Flint this summer.

:TU: Thanks Mark! I'm sure it took a lot of hours of effort to put that together, it sure is appreciated! :TU: :TU:

Great job Mark!

Do the dealers have records of these cars? Others? I am in the process of tracking the Dealer down for my car. I am hoping for some news in the next couple of weeks.

[Dan Healey]

If you have the protect-o-plate or body order final sheet, you will find the dealer code on those. Probably on the body final too, and certainly on the orginal window sticker.:Brow:

[71Stage1Conv4sp]

Dan;

I wish I had that stuff; then I would not need to contact the Dealer. I am hoping to find some info. from the Dealer, if they still exist, have records, will let me look at them, so forth and so on.

Thanks.

[Dan Healey]

It would probably FILL 2 semi trailers FULL. :gt:

But the biggest problem if you found out the dealer: Are they still in business. I bet less than 1 in 10 are still in.:ball:

Here in Ohio, the way to trace a car is by the title. Have to go in person to the County records and have them do a title search. This will show the names and address of ALL previous owners within THAT county, and it will NOT show (if any) owners from other Counties. But it will tell you which county the car came from. Then you have to travel to that County, and possibly on & on....And if that isn't bad enough, many small counties have destroyed or lost old records! :af: :ball: :spank:

But there is a chance you will get lucky, and find your car has always been in your area.:Smarty:

Good luck on your search, Dan

[71Stage1Conv4sp]

Dan;

Thanks again for your help. I have sent a request for the DMV to do a search on the VIN #; since they charge a fee, I should get some kind of response.

I know what county it was purchased from in the mid Seventies, I may visit the county records over the Christmas holiday. If I can't find any info there, I will have to drop back and punt.

I'll keep pressing on.

[Carl Rychlik]

Nice job,Mark! That certainly took a lot of time to gather all this information. Thank you.

[bealhm]

Hey Guys,

Just thought I would let those of you on the West coast know, that my car (listed in my sig.) came from Putnam Buick, in Burlingame, Ca.....just a stone's throw from the Fremont plant...and they sure enough are still in business there.

No original sales records are left, but they were nice enough to send me some dealer name, license plate surrounds. Since I still have the original black plates on the car, and have added the original license plate surrounds. Makes the car look that much better! Well worth the effort!

I sent the info to register our 70 Stage 1 X to Marco. He indicated he would share it with you. The dealer is a stand alone Buick dealership that still exists. The owner's son who drove our car as his in 1970 demonstrator still works there. The dealer code was included in the transmittal.

[Phil Racicot]

Hi Mark,
Two of the 3 codes that I sent you aren't on the list anymore
I don't know them but they should be mentionned in the other thread.
They were for Boyd Pontiac-Buick In Lachute Quebec (zone 86) and for Sirois Automobiles in Trois-Rivieres Quebec (also zone 86)

[BUQUICK]

Here is a code I didn't see on your list yet:

Faulkner Buick Pont.
P.O. Box 464
Dickson, TN 37055

zone-dealer: 18-324

Taken from the warranty policy of a 1972 Skylark

[1972 Stage 1]

Does anyone here know the name / location of dealer code 19-329? I didn't see it on Mark's list, and I am wanting it for the window sticker for my GSX (get ready, Mike - it's coming to you soon!).

Thanks for any help.

[GrittyKitty]

I'm trying to help an internet deprived friend find the answer to a question and was wondering if i found the answer in this thread. He needs a business associate code for a specific dealer (Ted Weiner Buick in Berwick PA) and I found that dealer on your list of 1900+ dealers. Is the dealer code the same as the business associate code? If yes. I found according to the list that it's 03-354. Would the business associate code be 03-354 or just 354? Or if not any idea what a business associate code is and where I could find it? Thanks for any info.

Here is one more. I bought my Buick there.
Hazelwood Buick
Bremerton, Washington(still in business)

Never heard of a "business associate" code but a dealer code is a number assigned to a dealer by GM. The first two digits are the "Zone" (geographic area of the coutry where the dealer is located) and the other three digits are an arbitrary number for that particular dealership, probably assigned sequentially as dealers opened.

[brians]

Mark,

Another one for you...

01-400
Dartmouth Motor Sales, Inc
320 John Stark Hwy
Newport, NH 03773

They sold my GSX.

They are still in business but changed hands about 15 years ago so no old records exist.

Hi Mark: My 65 Skylark came from P. L. Grissom & Son Buick 15101 Michigan Ave. Dearborn Michigan 48126 . Ordered on April 22nd 1965. delivered on May 14th 1965. I have the statement of vehicle sale and the retail order for a motor vehicle form but can seem to locate the dealer code on them. Didn't see my dealer on your list. Thanks Dan

[68 Skylark cust]

Here's 2 more from Quebec , Canada

86-579
Giles Bedard autos ltée
5250 Blv Rive-Sud
Lévis , PQ , Canada
note : they sold my 68 Skylark Custom , but no longer exist under this name ... now it's Cloutier Pontiac Buick at the same adress but I heard they move next year on a new place in Lévis.



86-934
Ant Labbé Pontiac Buick
46 Kennedy St.
Vallée-Jonction , PQ , Canada
note : they still exist , under the same name since 1934 !

[smitter]

Mark,

here's another one to add to your list it is # 313 Lawson Buick-Cadillac Co Comanche Rd, Lawson Oklahoma 73501 (just south of Oklahoma City). This information was on the build sheet i found on top of the gas tank. :grin:

[WQ59B]

IIRC- it might be a good time to remind people that a Buick-Pontiac dealer (for example), would be coded differently than a Pontiac-Buick dealer. If the dealership was primarily... or first a Buick dealer, then it's code is 'Buick oriented', otherwise it would be coded to the other brand.

Some 'XX Chevrolet-Buick' dealers or some such may belong on Chevrolet dealer code lists.

Please confirm, Mark

[Marco]

Another -

11/1969 in
kansas city MO
Zone/Dealer
13-915
Ken Logan Buick-Opel
Des Moines,IA
