I have been struggling decoding my VIN and Fisher plate number on my 72 cutlass Supreme Convertible

The Fisher stamp says:
ST 72 34267 LAN 228506
TR 979 48 T TNT
09A A51

I deciphered that this is 72 Lansing convertible with paint code 48 with dark saddle interior. I cannot decipher manufacturing date and production number

The VIN is 3J67K2M112608. Olds cutlass supreme convertible. 350 4B 1972 Appreciate your feedback.

Curious to know manufacturing date and what production number. Thanks

I make it this way, but I don't guarantee it.

34267 = Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme convertible
LAN = Lansing assembly plant. The number after it does not decode into anything. It's just a Lansing body unit number.

TR 979 = Saddle vinyl seat
48 = I don't find a 48 paint code. Are you sure it's not a 43? It's very easy to misread the body cowl tag, and the recommendation is to post an actual photo of it. Anyway, 43 would be Pinehurst Green lower body color. What is the exterior color of your car?
T = "covert" convertible top where covert is the name of a color.
A51 = bucket seats
TNT = ? (tinted windows?)

TNT should be PNT, original poster must have misread.

I believe it the paint code was 48 but I will zoom in with my camera. I am getting older and cannot see so well. It does have a dark saddle interior. I appreciate your feedback. This site is great for answers.

I had most of the car repainted earlier this year. She needed new quarter panels and I was able to source NOS rear quarters. Trunk area needed a lot of work as well as rocker panels. I will post some of the photos later tonight.

For the 1972 model year, paint code 48 was Sequoia Green Poly.



You'll also note at the bottom of this paint chart that "T" is Covert Beige as a striping color, so it's a dark green convertible with a beige top. Of course the 228506 build sequence number is just a Fisher Body identifier and has no real significance.

Irony of ironies, eh?

This is what I got on my decoder. Looks like a match.
