Determining options through detective work

Determining options through detective work
I'm trying to make up a window sticker for my 1967 Cutlass Supreme Convertible.
Is there someone who might know if there was a 'standard' set of items on a supreme convertible, or how I could play detective to figure out certain options?
For example, my car currently has dual exhaust, but was that an option on supreme convertibles, or an aftermarket thing that would have been added?
Here is what I have so far from the protecto-plate/VIN/body tag:
-J50 Power Brakes
-N40 Power Steering
-U63 Radio Pushbutton Control with Antenna (AM only I assume?)
-Y67 Low Washer Fluid Indicator
No power windows, no cruise.
-Y2 Saffron Paint
-W Tinted Windshield Only
-5Y Deluxe Seat Belts without rear center
-980C Strato notch-back bench seat Black

I'm not an expert on deciphering what you've listed below, I suspect some of the information you have listed was obtained from the Cowl Tag. I highly suspect Y67 is incorrect (especially if it came from the Cowl Tag). Low Washer Fluid Indicator wasn't even an option on a 1967 CS since I don't believe it even came w/ a Washer Fluid Container.
If you want definitive answers to your Cowl Tag decoding, post a picture of your Cowl Tag.

I just happened to be reading another thread (Celebrity Sedan) and noticed someone posted Y67 as a trim option. I don't see it listed (above) as a trim option on the CS (I may have missed it). Not sure if you found Y67 on your Cowl Tag?

The washer fluid container was located under the driver side fender attached to the inner shield. It was activated by the wiper switch. The squirters were located under the screen below the windshield. Item located on the safety features list on the above standard features of all Oldsmobiles.

Thanks for all the replies, I do not have the build sheet. I don't know where I got Y67 from looking back!! Scratch that--- I do know where I got that from: Protectoplate shows # 03140, each number position there is supposed to correlate to an option, of course the correlated option from the source I have could certainly be wrong. Those sheets posted are great, thanks!

Yes I was going to post that I do have a washer container, and I do have squirters poking out I have to say seem quite fragile and I'm impressed they are still there after all the years.
