One lonely part

Please help!I am looking for a couple parts for my '73 Delta 88 Royale conv. I understand that a lot of parts are similar for yrs. 71-75 on 88's and 98's. I am looking for a rearview mirror and 2- Royale scripts.

i would look on ebay-if you are patient & know how to search you can find literally anything. Do a search for "olds nos emblems" and "73 olds nos" & go from there. I have found every trim part I have ever needed on ebay. They're not always cheap, but it's sure worth a look. Do you have the correct GM part number?

I'm kind of confused by your post. I have a pretty good recollection of these cars since I was 16 and really into Olds when they were new in 73. Here's my dilemna: On the fenders (front) the Delta didn't have a Rocket emblem, it had faux louvers. On the back (quarter panels) by the marker lights, it had the Delta Emblem. The Delta Royale had a brushed metal and black inset swirly design emblem that was attached to the rear roof pillar.

The red rocket emblem you're describing (probably plastic with double sided adhesive holding it on?) is likely something a previous owner liked and stuck on. It's definitely not a 1973 emblem. More into the late 80's and 90's. Post a pic of the one you've got on the car; it's easier to confirm.

not sure, can you post a picture of the door panels and back seat and I can tell. I know the dash and clusters are the same, do you have the radio cluster in decent condition? I'd definatley be intrested in that as well. Thanks
