1968 Buick Accessory and Options Codes

Greg,

thanks for taking the time to get the photo's. I would like to get to the bottom of this trim issue. I know it was not an available option but maybe it could be special ordered? Someday we may run across an original build sheet from a GS with this trim so that we can put this mystery to rest.

I have production figures for 68 GS350's that shows how many cars were built with each available option, so I guess it is time to dig it out and see if I can find any indication of this trim option.

i look forward to finding out the results. anything else you can think of let me know if i can be of assistance.

Mike, have a gander at the side SS trim on this ebay 68 GS400:

David,

Starting to see more and more '68 GS's with that trim. Maybe it was a late year option? what is the build date of your GS as indicated by the cowl tag?. I still cannot find any indictation of this trim as an available option, but it sure seems like it was.

o No:

 

Mike, I don't recall the build date. I'll check after work and let you know.

 

Mike, the code is 12C, that's 3rd week December, right?

 

12C is the third week of Dec. So it does not look like the side trim was a late year option addition. Someday I will get to the bottom of this...Hopefully someone will find a build sheet from a GS with the side trim...

Mike, I'm going to email the buyer of the ebay car, and ask about obtaining the build sheet info if it is found.

 

Sorry I havent replied but i was away on vacation.

My date code is:

01B

Baltimore.
