The Cougar I recently picked up has 2 thin chrome strips on the B pillars. None of the Cougars I have previously had have had this. Is this an 85 only thing? Is the car maybe an LS without badging? Not a big deal, just curious.

You can see the strips in this pic.

For Cougars:

1983 - GS & LS
1984-86 - LS only

Your '85 appears to be an LS. If you have the high-series door panels then that confirms it.

Thanks Eric. The car does have the TC/XR7 style door panels, so I reckon its an LS.

For TBirds 1983-86 Heritage/Elan I believe. Don't know if the parts are interchangeable?
