Weird stuff found on my 69 Coronet

[69”WannaBee”451]

I was poking around in the trunk of my 69 wiring up some speakers and found some odd holes in the top of the quarter panels that were “filled” at some point in the cars past. The holes match up perfectly to the mounting points of a Daytona/Superbird wing. I have no clue why someone would put something so ugly on a 69 Coronet, or when it was done for that matter. But I found it very interesting. I also included a pic of the wing mounting template.

Wow that is crazy... I have no clue but you might be right.

Be careful what you put in the trunk.
Those patches may not be too sturdy if the get bumped into from inside.

I’m getting ready to strip the car down to bodywork it over the winter so I can shoot it in the spring.

Back in the day people bought wings of junkyard Daytonas and Superbirds and put them on other cars.
Lots of pics out there of such cars.

Yeah I’ve been searching for pics of 69 Coronets with wings on them and haven’t come up with anything. At least nothing matches this car. It was originally T7, and there is an old picture of a copper/bronze 69 with a wing, but it’s a post car.

what is odd is the factory sound deadener stops there in the same manner as around the marker lights

Instagram is your friend for old school car pic accounts.
Been looking for a pic of mine from back in the day.

The duct tape fell off.
