On the Delta 88, the turn signals are in the grille between the headlights.

So the VIN says Delmont 88 and the front end says Delta 88. In any event, the car looks pretty sad. Are you planning to do anything with this? If it's going to be parted out, where is it? I could use one of the wheel rims!

lol this sad looking car is my new project.I have a 455 and th (or thd as the guy said)400 trans I am going to drop in.I am going to try and get a parts car tomarrow and can take one of the rims off and sell you it cheap.Are you after it for a spare or did one of yours get damaged just wondering.this is the link with info and pic's on the car.http://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/...t-project.html

I need it for a spare tire. When I bought my '67 Delta back in June, it came without a spare, and I've been looking for a correct rim ever since. If you have one to sell, I'm interested. Where are you located? You can PM me on that if you wish. I seem to recall you once said upstate New York. Thanks.

It would not surprise me if in fact the interior color had been changed, ten years ago a friend bought a 1998 Z28 with a grey cloth interior...it had been changed by the dealer from white leather because it would not sell! So, with the cloth they lowered the price and were credited the difference by GM. I know in '67 the A bodies were availble with a triple yellow color combo with a yellow rag top...one of my favorites. There has also been a saffron yellow '67 98 at Homecoming the last couple of years, with the yellow interior and a white convertible top.
