trunk lid for 68 cutlass

I am currently retoring a 68 cutlass supreme convertible and need a trunk lid. Any ideas as to where I might find one. I have found some glass reproductions but would really like steel. Any help is appreciated.

John,

If it is a 68 it is an "S" convertible. They did not have a Supreme convertible in 68. A trunk lid off of a 4-door Cutlass will also work with the "S" convertible.

BTW, where did you find a fiberglass trunk lid for a 68 Cutlass convertible?

Thanks

It is a "S" convertible, I miss spoke. I found the glass lid at showcars-bodyparts.com, they had both pin on and bolt on. I have not been able to find a steel one as of now, but will be looking. I was hoping a 67 or 69 lid would fit.

Thanks for your input, where in SE Michigan are you?

If you are looking for a metal repro, they do not exist. Good used is your only option. As noted, all four door trunklids are the same as convertible trunklids for 1968.

John,

I'm in Farmington Hills. You might want to check out our local chapter of the Oldsmobile Club of America, the Motor City Rockets
