They're like potato chips! Service Parts Identification Codes

Ohhhhh.... I done a bad bad thing.  I am now a TWO wagon owner.  

Let's play a game.  Here are the Service Parts Identification Codes.  Let's see who can tell me the most about what I just bought.  

The most important is the WB4. Let me know if there are any you can't find decoded elsewhere.

I would agree that they are extremely interesting when you are researching your own car. Documenting everything.?, Well that is another story... I spent a couple of hours decoding and making a quick reference Word file on Monday.. This link was a lot of help to quickly decipher the codes. Congratulations on the recent acquisition.

A 1996 DGGM WB4 (Buick) with tan Leather interior that was for sale in Cape May Court House, NJ for $1995

Well done lads. We know it's a factory wood-delete, dark gray-green metallic exterior with tan leather interior. Can anyone guess other characteristics?

No posi, no trailer pack, 2.56 gears... what else do you want to know? Many of us can tell you what each of those codes are.

Well, it was supposed to be a game, but I see that a true Jedi has entered the room.

Game's up.  Here she is.

pretty good looker for 115K miles.. you know, for a Joysey Gurl

She grew up in Virginia, and has only been hanging around the pine barrens for few years.

Nice score...AGAIN!

Don't forget to put the QEU P225/75R15/N White Sidewall Steel Belt Radials on when it becomes time for tires.

Rear tires are Goober slicks (no tread left), so I'll be putting 4 new ones on it when I get it home on Thursday.  I favor the General Altimax in 235/70/15 over the 75 profile OEM.  Tirerack does have a white-stripe in 225/75/15. Nada white anything in 235/70/15, which was a common size on older SUVs.

Off to the airport in a few hours to begin the adventure.

Nice find! I'm playing catch up here...what is the other wagon you have?

Have fun bringing her home. Looking forward to more pics and updates.

See LROM for December 2015: the Rolling Cathouse Red Caprice.

It was worth reading this thread for merely for the quote " Rolling Cathouse Red Caprice"! It slides off of the tongue like it was a professionally inspired slogan.

Guilty as charged.

Its probably the best description for the red GM used for interiors, aside of the Oxblood color.

Is it cheating if I put the VIN in my GM parts catalog?

Depends on whatcha calling,"VIN" You might get a nasty,paper cut. But hey,I aint judging...
