    The '88-'91 ornament is the worst, in my opinion. Eventually I may get around to swapping to the pre '88 style, as I really like those, Michael. I'd just have to see if it would fit the contour of the header panel (probably not), or whether I could take it apart and make one that works using the base of one, and the crown from another.

      hehe - I should have been more specific in deriding the post-~'80/pre-'88 Mercury ornaments. I actually have an earlier Vic ornament I could send you if you like ... just gotta check that it's in reasonable condition.

        Well, I need to do my research first, and see if I can make this work. A good project for some night after work, I suppose.

          Yep. Probably just have to drill an extra ~1/8" locating hole for the thing since they're all in different places, but I can easily understand if you're loath to drill extra holes in a car that clean!

            A junkyard, or if you're lucky, on ebay. Probably a better chance on ebay. Gotta keep checking, NOS stuff comes and goes fast.

              I hate that hood ornament too. I think Nathan_in_Mn has one on his '89. It doesn't look very good on there though.

                    The '79 LTD ornament is my Favorite out of all 3 ornaments for the LTD Vic. I've been running an old one off a JY Box for about 2 years now. Wouldn't mind finding an NOS piece for the right price though.
