Commander 57 ◊ 2009-11-06 02:53	Correct. 1987-1991 range.
taxiguy ◊ 2009-11-06 02:56	The movie was made in 1988... and the 1989+ models had different fronts and a different spelling for the name as well. -- Last edit: 2009-11-06 02:57:41
Commander 57 ◊ 2009-11-06 03:00	Oops! Missed movie date. My sources show same front end for this model through the 1991 model year. (Yes, by '89, was just called the "Eighty-Eight" with "Delta" dropped.) -- Last edit: 2009-11-06 03:01:37
taxiguy ◊ 2009-11-06 03:06	For 1989 the hood ornement was dropped (including the stripe running accross the hood) 1990-91 was given an entirely new front bumper/grille and an entriely new rear bumper/taillights/trunk lid, along with revised side trim. -- Last edit: 2009-11-06 03:17:31
Commander 57 ◊ 2009-11-06 03:06	Did further checking in light of your comment. Appears this front was used 1987 through 1989. New grille introduced for 1990 model year.
Commander 57 ◊ 2009-11-06 03:08	Right on, Taxiguy! Your info is absolutely correct.
