1969 - 1970 Cougars came factory equipped with stainless trunk mouldings and 1967 - 1968 Cougars came equipped with anodized aluminum trunk lid mouldings. However if you ordered a 67-68 service replacement deck moulding from Ford anytime after 1968 you would have received a stainless steel replacement. We recently obtained 15 of these that were stored improperly where the packaging had deteriorated and the mouldings showed shelf wear. We sent them out to be polished and the results are stunning. Much brighter than a typical NOS trim part and since they were not damaged, the sheen is much smoother than one that has had dents removed. These have a mirror-like finish! No core charge but we will give up to $80 in exchange for your 67-70 aluminum or stainless moulding as store credit. Replaces Ford part number C9WY-6542512-A.
"Don,
I just received my NOS rear deck lid trim piece for my 69 Cougar. It is absolutely first class merchandise. I installed it and it looks great! The packaging was very secure in the PVC pipe. Great idea! Thank you and it's always a pleasure doing business with you guys. Everything I get from you guys is excellent quality. You are always honest over the phone and I greatly appreciate that. I really don't like purchasing something without seeing it first hand, but I can honestly say I have no doubts after I speak with you. Thanks again and I will be in touch with any future requirements." Mike V.
