67 rare convertible nos quarter panel
« on: December 20, 2021, 03:04:37 PM »
I have a nos 67 convertible quarter panel still in GM paper wrap with early embossed telephone receiver shape door jamb….I have never seen another….all other nos ones I have ever seen have later style door jamb embossment.  I also notice that all the reproduction ones have later style embossment…..does anybody make a repo that has the original style.
My original car is an O4 A build date and it has original style telephone shape door jamb …does anyone know when they changed the stamping?

Can you post a photo of what you're talking about? I've never noticed a difference.

I am not aware of any repo that has the correct shape.  11E of 66

You've won the lottery on that one, if you can find someone with deep pockets doing a high end restoration on an early 67 vert and simply must have it.  Most aren't aware of this 67 "oddity".  My 11B LOS Nov 15 build date, per the NCRS report, has this first version panel. Makes me wonder if there was a car or two at each transition period that had two different version panels?

I know they are rare….and these are in perfect condition in original GM wrapping with copper like banding ….I also notice from factory they have the sound deadening already sprayed on inner side…I have never seen this in other nos panels.

Are the GM tags white and red or Aqua, black & white?

GM letting is in aqua. The wrapping is like a thin corrugated cardboard with another almost cloth material in between two pieces of the thin corrugated cardboard. I unwrapped only to look at it and this wrapping kept the piece very very clean.

Check and see if the panels are dated - the date will be in the area of the trunk jamb and would be a format like H11  with the alpha (H) representing the plant and the numeral indicating the week stamped.

The part is actually stamp dated     I sent pictures in to be posted.  I never knew that GM sprayed the sound deadening on panels before they where installed on car.
