Thread: Data Plate option codes '67 Electra convertible

    Data Plate option codes '67 Electra convertible

    Sorry, I initally posted in an old thread for another model instead of creating a new thread.

    Hello,

    I consider buying an '67 Electra convertible and have difficulties to decode the options on the body plate.

    It reads

    EFS 2ETR

    4F5K


    Also I can't find information about the original top color, paint code is: E-1

    E is Midnight Blue, but is 1 white or black?

    Thanks a lot. Did they list all options on the body plate or leave out some?

    I know from my '62 Cadillac that only some options appeared regularly on the body plate while others were left out when installed.

    Since Fisher built the body, usually only the option codes that were related to what Fisher had to do with the body were stamped on the trim tag. Thus, things like engine options, etc. were left off because that was Buick's responsibility.

    Thanks a lot! This ist the first one with a top that isn't black or white that I come across.

    Maybe I misinterpret it, but as I understand the 1971 Master parts list only black and white tops were available for the Electra convertible.

    Is this special order or was a bigger variety of convertible top colors available?
