Roger, I could use some items off that car. The Parisienne trunk script, tail lights (lenses need to be good) the trim off the very front of the fender that hides behind the front bumper and wheel well mouldings.

Most interesting. I never looked at the tail lights all to closely.

Clint, Was the lense model specific or a production change? Grand vs non or two door vs four door?

I'd never noticed it either, but the one fellow in Winnipeg that's on here occasionally (Goodchild) contacted me and he was looking for a lens, and he was trying to describe the bevel thing.   He had one with and one without, and said it looked kind of goofy as they didn't match.  I really didn't know what he was talking about, but was going to be visiting a junk-yard here in Alberta that has a number of 69's.  One of the cars had one, but the bevel thing was all chipped away.  At least then I knew what he was talking about.   Fortunately a Parisienne convertible had it's lenses in the trunk so they were in good shape, and they had the bevel.  I scored one for him and all was ok.

So for the 2 cars I saw with the bevel, one was a Parisienne (don't remember if it was a 4 dr or what) and a Parisienne convertible.  So don't know if it was a production change or what.

I looked at some pictures of my Parisienne and 2+2 and they are both with the bevel.

Is it maybe an American vs Canadian difference? Another anomaly to confirm.

 I don't think it's a American vs Canadian thing, I suspect maybe a change in suppliers.

Frame appears and sounds to real solid.. Banged around on it ..

considering what the car looks like on the outside ... Lol

Out of the twenty cars I moved .. Only  five have ended up staying . 

Either stripped or sold the rest . 

 

But yes ... The yard is full ! 

Hey Rog, If I haven't mentioned it before I am looking for a nice 15 by 6 inch steel slot if you or Steve ever come across one. Thanks. I'll bet those are 14s on that rag.....way more common.
