I talked to a Joe Snowden who retired a LT a few years ago and a retired Captain at Indy last year...I do not recall his name. Snowden had three FHP SSP's and gave me the info that it was not until around 1990 that the deck lights started appearing. These are two inservice photos and the one with the airplane is reported to be a 1988. Neither car has the rear deck lights or anniversay decals. I guess it would be possible for them to be added on later, but I doubt an '88 on it's way out the door would get them...but we all know how the government operates so anything is possible. It should also have the anniversay decals on it, but I never installed them. (I was also told any car inservice during the anniversay year had the decals put on.) I had also purchased the correct dash masters but after learning my car probably did not have them originally I was just going to save them.

I never saw any cars running around with the anniversary decals in '90-'91. I think they were on the cars for the year and removed.

Cool pics Matt...I enjoyed seeing your old FHP at the Indy PCOOA event by the way...too bad won't be seeing again (at least not any time soon). Love that tan interior!

Yeah, I miss looking into the garage and staring at her. The tan interior for being almost all original was very nice. It was a toss up on which one to sell but we are very happy with TX DPS...and at least we don't see 4 or more at each show...lol.

I wasn't ripping on you about the condition or correctness of the car my focus was on the "creative writing" concept. just more dealereze to help sell another car. It's what they do.

No problem Jim, I understand where you are coming from. I agree the real story would have been better... and true. I believe Doug should receive full credit for the restoration. The car from my understanding was in bad shape when he purchased her. Doug did a great job on the car and had it not been for personal reasons it would still be in my garage.
