rocketraider Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 39= 1939 36= Series 70 (or series G) 27= 2 door coupe 3 passenger B= Business Coupe 23= 23d body produced at that assembly plant 1= is the interior trim code. My books don't go back that far. 28= body paint color, Battleship Gray metallic The Series G70 was new for 1939 and was the big L80 series body with a 230ci flathead six cylinder engine- bigger than the 215 flathead six used in the small F60 body. The G70 four door sedan was the most popular 39 Olds with 38,145 made. Standard Catalog of Oldsmobile indicates there were 5211 1939 Series 70 business coupes produced between the Lansing, Linden NJ and California assembly plants. The car's serial number should be on the left side frame rail in underhood area. A Lansing car will show G-3xxxxx, Linden LG-1xxxx, California CG-1xxxx.

rocketraider Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Can't help you with the 40 Chevy tag as my Chevy info starts at 1946, but post it in the Chevrolet forum or the AACA General Discussion forum and someone will know how to decode it.

philipj Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) Here is another for a coupe... All I know from the tag is that the original color was Glynden Green, but sure like to know about the trim code and any other details that can be obtained... Chassis# is F296634.
