Rick,

A long time ago I saw a 1967 LeSabre 4 drs in Spain, with the Wildcat skirts.
It took me a while to realise that there was something different about that car, and at that point I wasn't sure if the skirts were an option for the 1967 LeSabre, or not.

Couldn't find the owner to chat about the car, but it looked like the skirts weren't modified to fit the LeSabre :TU:

 

sweeeeeeeeeeeeet! thanks alot!!!! how did it look overall?

 

oh yea, and how do these things hook onto the car?

whoa thats old. gues i shoudlve searched

 

i got the skirts and they fit perfectly in the wheel wells. now i just need to get some brackets hopefully i can find some or fab something up.

since there isnt a whole lot to paint does anyone have any steps on how to go about spray can painting these things? much appreciated.

 

You can see the mount for the skirt in this pic of my '67 below in case that helps:

 

it looks just like a bolt, how about the upper latch?

 

When rotated to it's "home" position, the latch on the inside of the skirt grabs onto a straight bracket welded to the inner wheel well. Mine are long gone so I'm afraid I can't offer any more details.

I can take detailed pics if you need them. I have the mounts on the car intact and both of the skirts (although I'm not a fan of them on the car so I don't use them). Let me know if you want pics.

yes pics would be GREAT!!! thanks

 

No problem. I am having a new patio put in and the driveway is blocked with pavers, but as soon as it is cleared up next week and I can pull the car out of the garage, I'll snap some pics and post them.

 

definitley clutch! thanks. do you have a lesabre also? 4 door?

 

oh nevermind i see its an electra.

 

Hi,
I'm going to do the same to my 67 LeSaber Custom, I have a set of skirts off a 67 Wildcat, except all the mounts are in the trunk, rotted off :laugh:
Question about the wheel opening trim, I have a set for the standard opening and a set on the skirts, do they both get installed or just the ones on the skirts.

No wheel opening trim on the body. Also, each skirt should have a thin rubber strip stapled in place that compresses against the wheel openeing a bit when the skirt is installed.

I'm relatively certain the quarters are the same on the 67 Electra and LeSabre (at least the quarterpanel patch panels are sold interchangeably for the two models). This would imply that the skirts are the same, but I'm not certain on that. Either way, if you decide you need pics at some point, let me know.

 

i mocked up the skirts and they fit perfectly, i just need to see the latch peices and what not. Looking foward for the pics.

 

any updates on these pics? thanks
