You may want to reconsider. Less than a 1000 Touring Autos were made, and, you may well have the only one in the US.
Email me your VIN (use email button above) and I'll add you to my list of Touring owners.
Hi Ray,
I believe the switch over to 12 fuse began with the introduction of the "model 71" in Apr '71. Long sided rear bumpers etc.
2572070 should have been the first 12 fuse.
No problems Joe.
I bought my first 2002 in Burghausen (no too far from you) in 1973.
I was working in the aluminium plant in Ranshofen, Austria.
Nice Touring by the way.
I'm a no voter too; I like both.
I believe if the square light cars had arrived in the US with the chrome bumpers (& no rear over-riders) there would be no contest.
Oops, sorry. I thought it was the new cardboard part that was different.
Not sure what you can do.
Maybe send the vinyl back where you got it from and ask for some that fits?
If you still have your original door panel, lay it over the new one and line up the holes. This will show you if you need to trim the new one at the top or bottom (or both).
Interesting.
The screwed on VIN plate came from a manual car (not Auto).
A '69 Auto would have VIN 253XXXX.
What is stamped on the passenger inner fender near the windshield?
