Decoding Fremont build cars cowl tag PROJECT

(1/5) > >>

Loren At 65GS:
I'm interested in trying to decode the cowl tag from Fremont built cars. To be able to do this, I will need a great deal of input from members here.
 It would be necessary to have a picture of the cowl tag and a list of the known original options on each vehicle. By original options, I mean options only installed at time of factory build.  If there are options that you or the previous owner has added , it would be important to know that.

If you can not post pictures, or wish to not have them posted, you can email to : lealex1@yahoo.com

Okay, I'll give this a try.  Here is the cowl tag for my trusty 1965 Buick Deluxe Special wagon:



OPGI claimed to have a list of available factory accessories from 1965 Buick.  This is what is displayed on Biquette's website:



As far as I know, those are the only factory accessories Biquette had: V-8 with 4 barrel carburetor, automatic transmission, power steering, and an AM radio.  She was a "plain Jane" wagon with a more modest price-tag.  Is there a more definitive list of factory accessories?  I'll definitely be happy to check on any other factory accessories that Biquette might have been equipped with.

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:

Loren At 65GS:
Thanks Edouard,
 Add to your options, the deluxe trim that Biquette has. I imagine she had manual brakes?
