I am looking for the trunk lock hinge cover for my 75 Olds Delta 88. Any help will be appreciated.

Grp 12.249 p/n 9835200, emblem and escutcheon, lock cylinder, 1971-76 Delta Custom and Royale.

They were hard to find and expensive 15 years ago, and sellers are aware of them. You cannot get the flip-up lock cover separately.

Since the attaching rivets have to be drilled out anyway to replace it, what a lot of 70s Royale owners are doing is finding a lock cover for 77-84 Delta Royales. These covers use a different formula plastic that lasts longer than the original VitroLux emblems. It is a deep red background with "Royale" script incised into the plastic in gold. Script matches early 70s Royale trim bits. Handsome emblem and shows up nice against all colors, but especially white, silver or cranberry red.

The best part is unless you run up against someone knowledgeable about the cars, no one knows any different.
