1953mack Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 1. A frame number that starts with a "2" = a South Gate, California frame.2. The frame number and the VIN number should be the same.3. The engine letter "V" = V8 Your engine is the 109,419 production number. The last digit "7" indicates it was originally placed in a 70-series Buick.4. Body designated as a "G" was made in Flint, Michigan, 1187th of 3318 Roadmaster 76C Convertibles.5. "B" after the paint number could mean "heater & defroster" "D" after the paint number could mean "Sonomatic radio & antenna"6. Accessory "P" = Easy Eye Glass (tinted)A couple of strange items that I see.....1. A California frame with a Flint body.2. Your Trim "76T" is a new one that I haven't seen before, whereas a Trim Number "76" would indicate "Black Leather".Al Mack"500 Miles West of Flint" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thriller Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 The X on the style number would normally denote the hydraulic controls for top and windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
