  • What's this mean?

    On my copy of the passenger car order for "Model and Body type" it says "4H C5 CUPID"--what does the CUPID mean??

    Sales code. I remembered an earlier discussion on this and searched. Found this written by Mr. Dwain G. earlier...

    "Stude used sales code words for many years. I guess they were used to confirm the accuracy of a particular order. Every combination had a code word. A CUPID would be a Commander Regal coupe with automatic transmission."
