After you've bought it is the time to "not notice" problems you missed beforehand and the time to justify it to your spouse.

Well, like we said, beautiful car. Especially to find one in such good shape and with that very nice color scheme. Other than the door strap badge, does it need anything else?
I also have a '73 Olds (Custom Cruiser), and I do have the chassis and body service manuals for these cars if you have any questions.
Some statistical info about your car is that Olds made both "Custom Coupe" and "Brougham" versions of the '73 Toro. Production was about the same for both at 28,193 for the Coupe and 27,728 for the Brougham. The base price of the coupe was $5,341, and my reference does not have the base price for the Brougham and doesn't say why. The standard engine was the 455 V-8 with 250 hp. Your L74 option means that you have the 275 hp version.

You did check under the seats and the edges of the carpet, right?
If it's really not lying around in there somewhere, you could always make one out of a couple of beer bottle caps
