70-72 Cutlass Trunk Lids ?
How many different trunk lids are made for 70-72 Cutlass? I see postings for convertible or Supreme but aren't the convertibles rounded on top side and Supreme has sharp corner? The we also have the Cutlass Fastback style also correct? So I count three. Are some people just confused about Supreme/ Convertible. Has anyone ever rounded off a Supremes to use on a convertible?
Thanks

Well, to be technically correct:
Town Sedan, Holiday Sedan, and Convertible (xx39, xx69, and xx67 body codes)
Supreme Holiday Coupe (xx57 body code)
Sport Coupe and Holiday Coupe (xx77 and xx87 body codes)
Keep in mind that the Supreme could have come as a four door, convertible, or notchback coupe. Not all Supremes used the same trunk lid.

Also, to be yet more technically precise, the part numbers are many more than that due to emblems. The 4 door, Cutlass Supreme convert, and 442 Convert used the same lid, but with different trim holes.

Well, yes and no. The replacement lids came without holes drilled, so there were only three P/Ns:
9877968 - 4257 body (Supreme notchback)
9852222 - More doors and Convertibles
9852218 - all 2drs except 4257 or convert.
Now, on the assembly line, these were drilled in the different patterns, presumably using "make from" drawings, and as such would each have unique P/Ns.

Interesting, I have I guess a Supreme lid then with aftermarket wing . The lid was NOS in 80s and painted poorly yellow , then car was wrecked a short time later the last owner said. Am going to sell trunk lid so was wondering if any body guys have ever rounded off corners to make it fit a Convertible if someone needed ?
Thanks for all the great info guys
