Thanks for input.
Did you notice if the differences were cosmetic or 'architectural"?
I know the Regency Brougham models had a little Crest (coat of arms) and maybe some other decorative flourishes built into the plastic exterior "lens" piece.
But I must assume/hope that the standard Ninety-Eight and Touring Sedan models assemblies would fit, just that the cosmetics would be a bit different. At least I sure hope so. Course nothing GM did would surprise me.
There is so little descriptive info in the 90 Service Manual that I am not sure where one might look to compare with other model years part either.
What book or manual did you use to determine there were 3 diff designs?
When looking at the unit off the car, you just have to be amazed at the lack of concern for future "restoration" projects that GM had. nothing about the design lends itself to repair.
Next to nothing in the Olds Service Manual and of course no answers at the local GM parts counters.
I mean you gotta figure they at one time had access to replacements. You gotta figure very few owners ever needed or cared to replace the things. And so you must assume that much of that NOS stock should still be floating around the system somewhere right?
My Gosh does GM just take the stuff out and burn it after so many years?
