wondering if the 80's towncars hood ornament is swappable with the early 90's ones.

this is lableled as an 88 89 90 ornament but is unsure.

im just hoping i can fit it to the pimpster

or can you identify it as being from the 80's?

The box towncars changed to the smaller style ornament in 1988. Personally I like the big crosshare style ornament like they used up till 1987.

You can change the grille surround to an 88-89 if that ornament won't fit your car. Wont swear an 86 waffle will fit into a later surround though, so you might have to lose it in favor of a waterfall grille.
