NORS Delco Pleasurizer HD Shocks for what?

[Dave@Moon]

Almost 20 years ago I bought these shocks at a swap meet for my 1960 Buick when it was still new to me and I didn't know that much about it. As I recall when I got home they were not the correct shocks, and they've been riding a shelf in my garage ever since.

On the bottom portion they are stamped:

3198267
DELCO PRODUCTS DAYTON, OHIO USA
P2067

...and what is probably a date code of 112 75.

The dealer I bought them from wrote the number 5703 on both, which is probably a Hollander number and may not be correct.

Does anybody know what cars these fit?

These are rear shocks for full-size Ford, T-Bird, Mercury and Lincoln as listed below. When Delco renumbered shocks in the late 70's P2067 became 501-26. My newest catalog is for 1981, and these probably fit several years later. 112-75 is the 112th day of 1975.

Ford: 1965-81 LTD, Galaxy, XL, Country Squire, Ranch Wagon
T-Bird: 1967-71
Mercury: 1965-81 Marquis, Marauder, Monterey, Colony Park
Linclon: 1968-69 Mark III; 1970-71 Cont. incl Mark III; 1972-79 Cont. exc Mark IV and Mark V

Here is interesting thing about this, the Monroe catalog number for a 1981 Ford LTD (5803) also listed has fitting Buick Invicta and LeSabre 1959 -1960 and Sportwagon 1964 - 1969. This shock fits alot different applications.

The Delco heavy duty rear shock for 1959-60 Buick was P2097, and for 1964-69 Sportwagon was P2065. The P2097 mounts to the car different than P2065 and P2067, and is supplied with an extra rubber bushing. Delco didn't provide dimensional data in their catalogs to show the other differences.

Thanks guys! I've been stumped by these shocks for years. All those numbers are so similar, it's not hard to see where the vendor got confused.
