Hi all. Does anyone know where I can get a vin decoded for a 1976 Eldorado? I have spent a decent amount of time online this morning and I'm striking out. I'm trying to find the original carpet RPO code. Thanks in advance!

Back then the codes were on a label either in the trunk or the glove box. 99.999999% its discontinued.

Your not going to get a vin code break down on that old of a car. You can find the below information in the charts section.



THE BODY NUMBER PLATE IDENTIFIES THE MODEL YEAR, CAR DIVISION, SERIES, STYLE, BODY ASSEMBLY PLANT,
BODY NUMBER, TRIM COMBINATION, MODULAR SEAT CODE, PAINT CODE AND BUILD DATE CODE.
ON ALL BODIES EXCEPT K AND X STYLES, I.D. PLATE IS LOCATED ON UPPER HORIZONTAL SURFACE OF SHROUD.
ON K AND X BODIES, PLATE IS LOCATED ON FRONT VERTICAL SURFACE OF SHROUD.

Thanks for the replies. I was able to get what I needed from the body plate.
