Oldsfan Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I can help with that, but my information is at home, and I am at work right now. I'll have to try to remember to look that up when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldsfan Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 54 means it is a 19548 means your car is a Super 88L means it was built in the Linden, New Jersey plant7592 means it was the 6,592nd Super 88 built at that plant (the first one was 1001).54 means it is a 19543 means it is an Oldsmobile6 means it is an 8869 means it is a 4-door sedan0 is actually D and mean Deluxe trim, in this case indicating it is a Super 88. All Supers had the D in '54. It if didn't have a D on the end, it would be a "base" 88, and the vin would start with 547 instead of 548.BL is the code for the Linden, New Jersey Fisher Body plant, where the body was built before being shipped to the Linden assembly plant for final assembly.4451 means it was the 4,451st Super 88 4-door sedan body built at the Linden Fisher Body plant.Trim number 81 is for Dark Gray nylon and Light Gray Nylon Pin-Striped cloth.Paint number 10 is BlackAcc is for accessory codes - U2 is for the electric 4-way seat control. Pretty fancy stuff for a black sedan with gray interior. Other codes like air conditioning, tinted glass, custom lounge cushions, padded dash, etc. would show here if the car were so equipped. These would only be options affecting how the body was built. Mechanical options, like power steering or brakes would not appear here.Top would be used to indicate the color of the top on a convertible.

It seems that the car is no longer in its original configuration. It is white and the interior is white and blue. It has no power windows but there is a electric beam below the front seat, no connected. It has power steering but no brake booster, surprising for a Deluxe 88, right? I will check the "D" on the body tag. Thank you again. If I need additional information, I'll post again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fairlane575859 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Hi Paul,I checked the presence of the letter "D", but it is indeed a "0" (??????) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
