71-72 trunk lid?

Hello all! Anyone know what car this trunk lid is from? I haven't seen too many cars with this "Oldsmobile" strip on it. It came with my car ('70 442) but it's obviously not a 442 lid. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

To the best of my understanding, the Olds strip was a '71 only thing. Not sure if the Supremes had it or just the Cutlass and Cutlass S. Supreme decklid was different than the other two, but that one "should" fit 70-72.

Thanks for the info. It's pretty cool with the "Cutlass" script on there.

The '71 supreme did not have that on the lid. It has individual chrome letters spelling out "Oldsmobile" across the base.

Thanks. I know its not a '71 or '72 Supreme lid. I'm guessing it's from a '70- '72 "Cutlass", not Cutlass S. Maybe a 4-door?
I'm looking to sell it (original paint, virtually rust-free) and I'd like to market it to the car it belongs on.

My '71 Cutlass S has the strip. My '70 Cutlass S (which was redone and who knows how original it is now) does not, but has a rectangular rocket boss around the trunk key hole.

Great, that's what I was looking for! My '70 S also had that Rocket around the key. It was pretty cool.
It would probably fit my 442 but: A) the lid on there now, while in rough shape, is the original lid so I'd like to try and save it, and B) this brown lid is in very nice, original condition. I'd like to see it go to the model it was originally from.

The 4 door lids had rounded front corners, same as the convertible lids.
