How can i tell the differnce on my 73 electra? all the plates were taking off. The only one is inside on the dash. It reads "electra 225" how do i tell if it's a custom? or limited?

Thank you!!

Chad

I'm going from memory here.
I'm at work so, I don't have my manual in front of me. The body # on the VIN for the custom is 4837 and the limited is 4839.
Anyone else?

Chad, There were 3 trim levels on Electra 225s that year, the 'regular', Custom, and Limited. Each was available with cloth/vinyl or all vinyl upholstery.

The regular Electra 225 has a VIN starting with 4T37... The interior door panels have no pull straps or imitation wood trim.

The Custom has a VIN starting with 4V37... The interior door panels have pull straps and a picture frame border of imitation wood trim around the pull strap. The material right behind the strap is the upholstery color.

The Limited was a trim package upgrade beyond the Custom. It did not get a separate model number or VIN sequence. The VIN will start with 4V37... The interior door panels
have pull straps. There is a large panel of imitaion wood which runs behind the pull strap. There is a Limited nameplate on the right side of the dash going by the sales catalog.
