Hi,
Is the trunk lid on a 1965 Galaxie convertible the same on a 2 and or 4 door the same? Also will a trunk lid from a 1966 Galaxie fit? Thanks Steve

According to the MPC, the 65 and 66 deck lid are the same other than the 1966 2DR SPORTS ROOF (63). But the FINAL ISSUE gives no PN for the 1966 2DR SPORTS ROOF.

The roof on the 1966 (63 BODY CODE) was re-styled (more aerodynamic).

The shape of the tail lights changed so the quarters were different but the space in between was pretty much the same on most models in those years. The sports roof set up had more sweep back to it so I wouldn't be surprised if it is different.

My Pop traded his 62 Meteor with the 260 V8 for a new 65 Galaxie with a 352. The family was getting too big for the Meteor. This was the first car he owned that had factory A/C. The Meteor had the under dash unit so only the small kids would fit in front and center area.
