I am looking for the Body panel between the trunk and rear window on a 72 cutlass supreme that extends between the rear quarters and runs the length of the rear window. This is the piece that includes the weatherstrip channel for the trunk.

 

Its commonly called the trunk filler panel or slang... "dutchman panel" and its available aftermarket.

available at www.usapartssupply.com

A12.181E 68-72 All Cutlass Supreme 2 Door HT............. 99.50

 

its also called a tulip panel in the bodyshop business...or thats what ive called it for 35+ years..lol

never heard it called a dutchman panel..thats intersting..do you know ?

 

I've heard it called tulip panel as well by my uncle but its always been referred to as the front trunk trough, (pronounced troff,) here in the north east. Guess the name given varies per area of the country?

 

Thanks guys, I'll check out that link. I've gotta know, how did the tulip and dutchman names come about?
