HELP! I am trying to decode the #'s on the Left front hinge pillar on my car it goes like this: 46237 54141090........I tried to look it up but it does not make sense to me. The way I read it it says that I have a LaSabre Custom? On the plate on the fire wall says the following: 051 BW1178 BODY 65-46237 DDA PAINT 401 171 Can anyone help me with this?
4 62 37 5 4 141090 4 = Buick 62 = Wildcat (DeLuxe = 64, Custom = 66) 37 = 2 drs HT coupe 5 = Modelyear 1965 4 = should identify the assembly plant, are you sure it's not a H ? 141090 = production number for that plant, starting with 100 001
46237 4 Buick! 6 Wildcat! 2 Standard Trim 37 Coupe! 5 1965 4 is this an H? should be a letter, H is Flint 141090 Sequence # More Later, or somebody else may help on the rest, but my paperworks all packed-I just moved!
Just 2 minutes Ted :beer But good to read you also wonder about the 4 being a H I was about to decode the Body Number Plate as well, so you would have been quicker in that case. But it's not a race, it's all about helping other people out :TU: :TU:
051 BW1178 BODY Fisher Body Number 65-46237 The Year and Model again DDA PAINT Paint. Not sure which color "D" is... 401 Mystery #s 171 Interior trim indicates color and style. Thanks Erik!
D = Astro Blue and A = Regal Black I think trim code is 401 = Blue vinyl or cloth So # 171 is the mystery number...... (Edit: Just found # 171 being a 1965 Skylark trim code for Blue vinyl)
I Think the 4 is aY .........You guys are fast!!!!!!!! Thanks alot for the info! Now I just need to get the info on how all the lines run in the car..i.e. trans line to the radiator.......and find out where some wire go and where the Vacum hose hooks up on the power breaks to the motor?
