Re: What's wrong with this picture?

Missing the trunk "Eight" script; trunk lip moulding appears missing; possible aftermarket antenna, though its location indicates originally either a power antenna or factory air car.

What else?

Glenn,
You were close when you said "trunk lip moulding appears missing".

If I wasn't getting forgetful sometimes . I'd bet that deck lid is off a Late 60's early 70's Lincoln.

OK- I see the rounded corners and weird overlap on the decklid's edge. It's not 64 Ninety Eight, but I couldn't tell you what it came off of. Maybe 63?

Talking Re: What's wrong with this picture?

We have a winner! Correct, the deck lid came off of a 1963. You can tell by the corners,emblem and script. On a 1964 the corners are square and the Oldsmobile emblem and the decklid lip molding are together as one piece. Here's a picture of my 64.
