I bought a 69 Cutlass S convertible a few months ago and am still trying to figure it out. It is a crimson car with red interior and tan top. I have the Vin decoded (336679Z) as a 1969 Cutlass Convertible built in Fremont, California. The trim tag is a little fuzzier though. On the top line it reads (ST 69-33667 BF005071BDY). I don't know what the BF005071BDY means. On the middle line is reads(TR 935 52 A PNT). I know the 52 A is crimson with ebony top, but don't know what the TR 935 is. Also on the bottom line is reads (03A 077261 440120). I think the 03A is March 1st week, but don't know what the 077261 or 440120 mean. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks, Doug

The boot I have is a soft vinyl boot so I guess I shouldn't call it a parade boot. I did notice in some parts catalogs that the clips were available, but no mention of plastic tabs for sale. I guess I will look into buying a new boot with the tabs. Does anyone have any liturature or a diagram of this style? Steve, I really like the car. I was looking for more of a project and this car has an older restoration and is still in pretty good shape, and am very happy with it. I bought the car from a car dealer in Rockford, Il. who owned it for 6 years. He didn't give me much information about its past. I hope to investigate it more because I would like to know more about were the car all was and about its restoration, etc. Thanks for the information. Doug

Hi, I am new to this forum. I recently bought a 69 Cutlass S convertibile. The car came with a parade boot. After having a hard time putting it on I did some reading and I found my boot has clips like a 65 to 67 that clip over the trim around the back of top well. I think my boot for the 69 should have some sort of plastic tabs instead that slip under the back of the trim. Does anyone have any information on the boot I need or where to get these tabs to replace the clips if that is what I need. Thanks.
