Hi All: I am trying to build a database of buildsheets for Cutlasses. At first I was concentrating on just the 1970 SX, but I would like to expand it to any Cutlass.
If you have a copy of your build sheet, could you send it to me in jpg or pdf format? If you have a photo of the car that would be great too (jsut one).

Thanks, Peter

For why?, each build sheet is only relevant to the car it may or may not have been left in at the factory.

pcard

Rusty: I understand that there may or may not be a build sheet. I find it interesting to see the various combinations of parts that actually went into the cars, not just what the assmebly manuals indicate was normal.
And to be clear - if you do not have a build sheet then please do not send me a photo.
If you do have any original window sticker information that would be interesting too.

rustyroger

I see your point Peter, sorry if my post came across as dismissive.
Roger.

Hey Roger - no worries mate, I did not read anything into it. Maybe in 20 years someone will find a use for such an archive.

That's interesting. I read in my assembly manual that my colour combo was not recommended. I have Dk Blue with silver striping. The factory recommended white stripes or gold, but not silver. I'm glad the original owner ordered the car this way.

everybody dont be scared.... supply your build sheets. Im sure Kurt can get his friends to supply a few.

It is wierd that all the sheets you have are Linden NJ cars???

68 Cutlass Supreme Window Sticker

m455sx

Great thing you had the window sticker!!! There was someone on this site that did repop's of windows stickers. He did both of my cars. You may want to find him to get your redone.

Unfortunately, the car has now been parted out. The shell, title, bill of sale, and original motor is all that is left to her...

*EDIT* I just sold the car and other parts. She will be heading on a transport truck to CT in late January.

If you are interested in publishing the collection online.... let me know. I would definitely be interested in helping with that.

m455sx

Do you have any info on your 68?

m455sx

ok

pcard

Hey FireFighter - thanks for the pictures.
Just so everyone knows - Kurt at WildAboutCars contacted me and they will be publishing everything I collect.
Also, no personal information will be collected at all. I will not save anything which can identify you or the location of your car (like pictures with your license plate).
Please send all information via PM, that way trawlers will not pick it up.

sammy

Look at the early schedule date on the build sheet top left corner(6-29). That is the earliest ive seen.

wmachine

6-29 is not early, it is quite late. Generally speaking, July is late, August is early.

m455sx

Late for 69 model, early for 70 model??

wmachine

For any model year, Aug (the year before) is early, and July (the year of) is late.

m455sx

Yes i understand, but it is a 1970 model year car with a schedule date on 6-29. I thought production for the model year started in August. Or is it 6-29 1970 instead of 1969. Seemed low production#

m455sx

i maybe reading the build sheet wrong but i thought the number was 00891... right?

wmachine

Apparently Fremont did not make many of the Cutlass Supreme models in 1970.

sammy

yes-100891. also found carpet tags under rug in back seat-were installed by allen industries in compton ca on august 15 1969-build date from cowl tag is 08E and body sequence number is oo449-ted

sammy

schedule date is 08-29

pcard

I believe the 00891 is part of the VIN: 342570Z100891.
This is the first Freemont sheet Ihave seen. The sequece number is not a format I am used to, can anyone interpret it for me?

Thanks, Peter

m455sx

either way it is still an very early build

sammy

3-Oldsmobile
4257-model-2dr Holiday Hardtop
0-year-1970

Z plant code-Freemont California
100891-plant sequence code-891 car built for that model year.This # is also the cars serial #
Hope this helps

sammy

What does the schedule date tell us about the car?-ted

m455sx

Im thinking when the order was placed the build sheets were printed and it was an expected date of build. My sch date was 8-20 but cowl tag has a date of 08D a week later vin # 342570E103696. Freemont must of gotten to a slow start as yours was built after mine but your #100891.

wmachine

Sammy, I want to be clear on this. This schedule date of 08-29 is from the build sheet you just posted? The reason I ask is that the on the posted build sheet it looks like 06-29.

sammy

Definitely the schedule date on the original build sheet is 08-29

sammy

The sheet posted is a scanned one of the original-Ted- sammmy is my dog-my sons idea

wmachine

Thanks, Ted, but I was talking to the dog!
Seriously, thanks for clearing that up. It really disturbs me that it appears so clearly to be a 6 when it is an 8, but that happens. Just goes to show you how difficult this detective work can be. Things can innocently be deceiving!
But it is also a relief to know that because it does now make sense.

sammy

that definitely looks like a 6 the number was in a creece on the original-I will see if i can get a better scan and repost-everthing else looks good-so this is an early cutlass? have you come across any earlier? I like the idea of collecting build sheets to see the different combos that were available

pcard

I was looking for an interpretation of the seq number, which s on the upper left of the buildsheet, below the VIN number. In this case it is:
007567 28 0408.
Also: I believe the if you expand the image you can see that the schedule date is in fact 08 29.

sammy

oops what is this # and the significance?
