Does it attach to the bumper? Or to the trunk lid?

Got any pictures? It might be an E&G kit.

They probably ARE rare. How many people want to place a "signature" LINCOLN design que on their CADILLAC? Even if it DOES look good. :rolleyes:

Yeah, I never have understood that, either.

I think I might know the type he's talking about. Ironically, I learned about it today while watching Foxes Iraq news coverage.

There was a late '70 Cadillac Sedan DeVille parked behind the reporter. It had a kit laying flat on top on the trunk. It wasn't upright like Cont kits.

The other strange thing is that this Caddie didn't appear to have skirts, it had rounded wheel wells. I thought all Devilles of that period had squared wheel wells with skirts.

I think I saw that once on a Eldorado Baritz :bouncy: But I've never saw it on a Deville. It looks alright though...

im indecisive about it i like it but i dont its staying though original and probably rare which means valuable until i chop it up and put 4 pumps 10 batteries in the trunk ;)

i just realized this is the same software on our forums at

www.unitedridaz.org

You could always take that trunk lid off and save it and use another one to chop up. Easier to find a plain trunk lid than it is to find one of these. Hell make some money and put that lid on ebay.
