Rear License Plate Filler for '76 Cutlass Coupe
The elastomeric license plate filler panel on our '76 Cutlass Salon coupe is looking a bit ragged. This is the soft plastic panel located between the rear bumper and the license plate/gas filler area, originally painted (or perhaps molded in) silver and carrying the "Unleaded Fuel Only" sticker when new. I have no idea of interchangeability, but I would suspect that all '76 - '77 Olds coupes (and perhaps some other GM Colonnades?) would probably cross-over.

FOLLOW-UP:
I found a new repro license plate filler available from Plastic Parts Inc:
http://www.plasticpartsinc.com/oldsmobile.html
It is due to be delivered today. However, I have learned since ordering that their repros are made of fairly hard ABS. While it is no doubt more durable than the original, this gives me some concern as to whether the rear bumper will have to be removed to install it; the original is "floppy" and it was still a relative bear to remove due to tight clearances.
Enter Greg (oldsmobl) above who offered me a good used original filler for a very reasonable price, so I bought it as well . . . "just in case". Thanks, Greg!
