Thread: 1969 Buick gs 400

    Smile 1969 Buick gs 400

    I am the new proud owner of a Buick GS 400 and I am trying to figure out what the original color of the interior was called, it looks like a very light green (not the most attactive).
    The trim plate reads: TR 186. Can someone decode this for me, and is this the number I need to tell me the interior color?
    Thanks for all your help.

    this IS the interior color code. you should have a vinyl interior colored "Buckskin".

    Bob,
    Thanks for your help, upon further investigation I can see that someone spent a lot of time and money covering the entire interior of the car with light green vinyl stain. Goes to show you, you never know what a rebuild will turn up. With that being said, can you decode the rest of the cowl tag to see what other mysteries this car can solve?
