There is something in the VIN that identifies it though. George Hussey knew immediately that my car had that option.

There is nothing 'in' the VIN. Only that is it is in the first 1000 of the 73 MY, then it probably had it.

To answer a previous question, if the paint is incomplete under the vinyl, then it was intended to have the vinyl installed on the production line. No way that it was a dealer option. I don't ever recall finding a part # for it either, however I haven't looked in 15 years or so.
