I have a 62 Sedan. The decklid looks exactly like a 62 decklid, except that the license plate light is clearly a 64. I have attached a picture from a previous thread to show what my decklid looks like.

My question - is the decklid light the only thing that changed between 62 and 64? If I just put on a 62 license light, would it not be indistinguishable as a 62 decklid?

Thanks your thoughts Samba crowd.

You can see this thread for the differences. It looks like it is a 64 decklid since the pressing about the light did change in 63.

Incorrect....it looks exactly like a 1964 deck lid.

Follow the deck lid ID link Dibaltic provided above.

If you install a 1958-63 license plate light onto your decklid now, you’ll need to drill new mounting holes and the old mounting holes for the 1964-66 license plate light will now be visible.
