1968 Convertible Deck Lid Bumpers

[Donald B.]

Gentlemen: I posted a question yesterday about the convertible deck lid bumpers but I think I posted it too late to get very many responses. I would like to hear from a member with an original 68 CV with a build date and vin close to mine. My build is F15 and my VIN is 409107. Another member posted yesterday with a Dec 67 car without the bumpers. That member also commented saying that he thought the bumpers didn't show up until March. I guess if I could find a member with a car shortly after mine without the bumpers I would have my answer. Thanks again for all the help. Don.

Donald,
I don't have a response to your post, but am curious if your decklid has provisions (threaded holes) for the bumpers. If so, I wonder why. I learned from a previous post that 2 were used for a short time but was reduced to 1. All decklids on the later cars still had provisions for 2. Chip.

Re: 1968 Convertible Deck Lid Bumpers

yes, the deck lid on my car has provisions for the two bumpers. my deck lid, however, is not original to the car. that's why i'm hoping someone with a build date around my car will offer their observations.

Donald -

I have some pictures of the underside of my Nov 67 build '68 decklid before I had the car "redone".

I think it should be in it's original config. in these pics, but am not entirely sure as I would not really know what that was.

Anyway, it you think these would be useful to you, email me at rwmnc@optonline.net and I would be glad to send them to you.

I am an original owner of a 68 convertible but a late car. I guess I don't know what you are referring to as "deck Lid Bumpers"?? Could you describe what they are and where they are? My car does not have anything that I would describe using your words. Thanks
