    1969 Buick GS Cowl tag info

    Are there numbers on the cowl tag that give specifics about type of seat (bench/bucket) or things like vinyl top or not ???

    as David says, you're looking for the Trim and Paint codes.

    69 Trim

    The 2nd Line is the Vehicle Trim Line : Interior, Exterior Paint (Lower Body) and Upper Body
    Color or Vinyl / Convertible Top.
    In this example the "164" is a Vinyl Bench Seat in Sandlewood Color.
    Hope this helps.
