vin: 4E8010123 Arlington Texas car.
Spesh has power brakes, green glass, padded upper dash and air conditioning. I understand these are pretty good options for a 41 Series.
If there is any help on the Body and ACC codes I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for having me in your group!

Re: The journey begins...God speed, Spesh!
Welcome to the group, Kevin.
The body number is the production serial number of the body. The prefix letter denotes the plant in which the body was built. In this case BT= Arlington, 1722nd body built.
The style number you posted does not match anything in my book - it should read 58-4469 for a Special 4 door 6 passenger sedan. The style number breaks down like this: 58 = model year, the first 4 = Buick Motor Division, the second 4 = series 40 (Special), and 69=four door sedan body style.
I have not been able to find any break down of the ACC code - I would also like to know this info. I suspect it is an options package (in your case probably something like power breaks, automatic tranny, air conditioning). A/C was a fairly rare option, especially on the Specials. All air conditioned cars came with the green tinted glass as part of the A/C option, as well as an air duct that goes from the core support to the back of the generator to cool the generator in order to allow for maximum amp output to run the system.

Thanks. The trunk lip came from a Century parts car I picked up in Ohio. I'm having all the metal work done by a pro.
