    12B DF3 B88 C09


    Now, I know the first bit is

    1976 (76) Buick (4) Electra Limited 4 door Hardtop (CX39)

    I know 11L is paint code Lower and 19T is the paint code upper. Thats is. Can someone please fill in the blanks, and perhaps put up a link as to where the info is sourced from, so others can access it?

    Love ya work!

    Can anyone assist, need the exact location of a 1978 Riviera Trim Tag. It's not on the firewall by the power brake booster.
    Thanks, Paul

    Attached is a picture of the trim tag location info from the 1978 Fisher Body Service Manual and one of an actual tag from a 1978 Riviera. In 1977-1978 the Riviera was built on the B-body platform.
