I should not answer question late at night. On the paint code 99 l would be black the 38++ number is the white the l is the type of paint. Most of them say krinkle if it came out with one. The order means nothing as they are hand stamped. Hope that help clean up the confusion.

Steve,
I can probably get you the clips the next time I get down to Wymore, NE or Junction City, KS. The skirts themselves are almost impossible to find in good condition in this part of the world. Coffeyville, KS would be a possibility also.

That one is pot and it had a cast peg with a speed nut. It a factory molding not used by CB. Cb used the rear one not the front as they split the skirt up front.then pinched it togather to clear the 890s . They then had to use a longer edge trim piece as it made the wheel opening larger. Since all they did was lead the front split it rusted threw in a hurry and got replaced with standard skirts. Take the skirts off before you jack it up or the 253s will jam into the front

checked my stash I have one serviceable and two not so good. that is of course if the stud doesn't brake off removing it.. there should be two studs on them and a speed nut. the plating shops can put on a replacement for you. or at least Smittie's in Neb can. the one has the standard it broke off fix two holes drilled in the black ban and a black headed screw to hold it in place.
here is a rusty cb skirt that you can see how they modified the standard skirt to fit the tires. I have about 5 of the custom cruiser skirts here also. they are the fiberglass ones. why they only used them on the wagon I will never know. you brake that header I have you covered there also plus all 5 doors a dash, green interior grills and lights. both ends

Stunning Steve. Well done.
I'd make a transfer in this car tomorrow, even in 95-degree heat--the front and rear A/C works just like it's supposed to!

Congratulations, Steve! With your attention to detail, I have no doubt that this rig exceeds the condition that it was in when it left the C/B factory.
I don't know who provides EMS in your community, but I think you should purchase the local funeral home, and provide some competition!
Just joking, of course, but it would be neat to turn back the clock and see this Olds running trips again.

Steve I thought she looked stunning when you first rounded her up; but now the ol' girl looks good as new again! Another pro-car saved for our hobby, thank you for saving her Steve, and for sharing for all of us to enjoy! I believe Larri Dirks' C-B Ambulance is also a '72 if memory serves.
