    '67 Riviera Body Tag

    Not 100% sure I got it all correct, but it's a steer in the right direction.
    I'm sure there are others, more qualified, who will chime in.

    12E - is the time built code.
    67 - is the model year.
    49487 - is the division series and body style.
    (4-Buick, 94-Riviera, 87-2 dr sport coupe hardtop)
    EUC120197 - is the assembly plant and unit number.
    668 - is the trim number
    B U2 - is the seat type
    E 2GR - is the upper and lower body color.

    12E = build date where 12 = December (1966) and E = fifth week
    EUC = Fisher Body plant at Euclid, Ohio
    120197 = plant body sequence number
    668 = trim number = Standard Trim, Black Vinyl with Bucket-Type Front Seat
    B = seat type = Bucket-Type Front Seat
    U = paint color = Plum (Riviera only color)
    2 = top color = black vinyl top

    E 2GR = option codes (not the same as the sales codes, see 1967 assembly manual)

    Group 1
    E = Soft-ray tinted glass (all windows)

    Group 2
    G = console
    R = rear seat speaker

    1967 Buick Riviera - body plate tag decoding

    Hi! My name is Mat and I'm new here. I recently bought a very nice 1967 Riviera. I was trying to decode that data plate which is on the firewall but I have some difficulties, can you help?

    09 B F
    ST 67-49487 EUC 12355 BODY
    TR 651-B D4 PAINT
    WXTS 2GR 3B
    4F 5KJ

    I've already found out that ST 67-49487 is for year, Buick Division Riviera model etc., TR 651 is trim blue vinyl (but is that B?), D is sapphire blue (but 4?). I have no idea what is that WXTF and the rest below. Please help.

    Thanks! But in fact that's what I already know, but what exactly those codes mean? According to my car B should be bucket seats without headrests, but what is 4 for the color? At paint codes section on this page there is somehng like this:

    1 is a white vinyl or convertible top.
    2 is a black vinyl or convertible top.


    But on my car the number of the upper body color is 4, the roof is black in vinyl, but according to what is above 2 should stand for black.
    And can anybody decode those option codes?
    WXTS 2GR 3B
    4F 5KJ

    What is EUC in the body line? As far as I know it should be assembly plant, but in my VIN number there is H which stands for Flint, Michigan.

    Thanks!

    09 B F
    ST 67-49487 EUC 12355 BODY
    TR 651-B D4 PAINT
    WXTS 2GR 3B
    4F 5KJ

    09B = build date where 09 = September (1966) and B = second week
    EUC = Fisher Body plant at Euclid, Ohio (body assembly plant, car assembled at Flint, MI)
    12355 = plant body sequence number
    651 = trim number = Blue Vinyl with Bucket-Type Front Seat
    B = seat type? maybe this means something other than seat type?
    D = paint color = Sapphire Blue Poly
    4 = top color = blue (I thought blue was only available on convertibles, special order maybe? Also, top could have been changed to black during cars lifetime? It's also possible that this was stamped wrong and that it should really be a 2.)

    Group 1
    W = Tinted Windshield only
    X = Power windows
    T = Power seat - bucket, left seat only
    S = Power Trunk Release

    Group 2
    G = Console
    R = Rear seat speaker

    Group 3
    B = Rear Defroster

    Group 4
    F = Outside remote control mirror

    Group 5
    K = Door edge guards
    J = Underhood light
