The 1967 Delta line had three distinct trim levels. The Delmont 88 was the bottom of the line and had the headlights next to each other, with the parking lights in the bumper.





The Delta 88 was the middle of the line and had the parking lights between the headlights.




The Delta 88 Custom was the top of the line and in addition to the parking lights between the headlights, the custom had the extra tail lights in the bumper. All three had different side trim treatments and different interior configurations.



FYI, the different tail lights spilled over to the Cutlass line as well in 1967. The Supremes got extra tail lights in the bumper. Lesser Cutlii only got backup lights.

Which usually means the front end was replaced after an accident. FYI, the Delmont, Delta, and Custom all have different VINs.

For a little more information, the 442 in 67 got black paint on the tailight housings and the Oldsmobile strip across the back. The F85, however, omitted that strip entirely.

Just curious. Your car (in your album link) is clearly a 65. Why worry about 67 differences? Yours is a pillared sedan, vs the 'Holiday' sedan. Only difference is in trim, and the Holiday has no frames around the door glass.
