    69conv Thats a BUICK!?

    I've seen a few cowl tag threads here lately and wondered what mine says in all them numbers lol. Sorry if people are getting sick of these threads or anything...just if its not a bother could you tell me what they mean?

    ST 69 44467FLI 308238BDY

    TR 137 50 A PNT

    06C

    I know what some of it means(I think) 69 is the year and one of them 4's is Buick and I think 44 is 2 dr conv. And I'm pretty sure the 50 in the second line is paint code Arctic White.
    Correct me if I'm wrong in any of this. So what do the rest of the numbers mean?:Do No:

    Joe,
    To add to Jim's post

    FL1 is Flint Michigan

    and if your trim code is 187 it's red deluxe front buckets.

    Whoa, thanks for the speedy replies!:) It must have been TR 187 instead of 137, because I had bad lighting when reading it, and the car has burgandy interior with buckets, so I must have messed it up.
    Thanks again!:beer

    You have to be quick with all the sharp people on here.


    Hey if your brake backing plates are pitted I bought a repo pair from OPG for $52 (galavanized).

    Thanks for the tip, Jim. My backing plates aren't pitted, but they aren't pretty either. For $52, it just might be worth it! Did OPG actually have them in stock??? As long as we're on brakes, did you get your caliper brackets cad plated? Or did you go repo on those too? I think Fine Lines offers repos, or one of the line companies anyway.

    OK, back to my Mavis Beacon speed typing program... :)
