    Hey guys,just got done searching the 28 pages with vin in them,and a few posts helped me a bit.Now I can use a bit more please.


    VIN # 494879H9xxxxx

    4 = Buick
    94 = ?
    87 = ?
    9 = ?
    H = Flint
    9xxxxx = # of car?

    Body Tag

    69 = Year
    494 = ?
    87 =?
    EVC = ?
    32693 = ?
    688 = ?
    80 = Azure Blue?
    B = Burnished Brown Poly?
    090 = Sept?

    This is the way it broke down on many websites,but not much info on Rivieras that I could fine.

    know it is not a special car,just run of the mill Riv,but it would be cool to know what it was like from the factory.
