starfireelvis Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 (edited) I have a 56 olds with the vin 569M32674The 56 would be the year (1956)9 would be the model (Ninety-Eight)M should be Lansing, MichiganThe rest of the number is the sequence of production, starting at 01001; that would mean the car was the 31,674th built off the Lansing line.Your Fisher Body Plate would tell you more, about paint and trim codes, and options. If the FBP is like the one on my '62 Olds Starfire, in the upper left corner are two numbers and a letter, such as "07A", which is on my car. That means the car was built the first week of July, 1962.B would be the 2nd 2 week, C the 3rd, D the 4th, and E the 5th (for those months with five weeks).A 9 through 12 would mean the car was built the previous calendar year (i.e., '62 Oldsmobiles were being built starting in September of '61). Using that as a guideline, you can see the month and week your car was built, in either late '55 or early '56.
