67 "88" question

How come some 67 "88" have the blinker between the headlights and some have the headlights next to eachother?

Depends on the carline. In 1967, Delmonts, Delta/Custom, and Ninety Eight all have different grille and headlight treatments.

Delmonts & Ninety Eights have adjacent headlights and parklights in the bumper. Deltas have split headlights with parklights between the headlamps. Grilles are completely different between the three series too.

Try again. The "corrected" image isn't displaying - at least not on my computer.

I dunno, Joe, I'm seeing five pictures on mine.

They're all remotely hosted images, so maybe one of the servers had a hiccup.

Here is a picture of a 67 Delta Custom with the parking lights between the headlights.These also had a rear bumper with taillights in the bumper and in the body. Gm changed a few things with specific models....
