1969 Decklid texture inside

The orange lid I posted is unrestored. The picture on the C9WB decal is a Cougar body

That is the one. It is typically a Cougar in the illustration. I always refer to it as the one showing the pad between the jack and the space saver.

NOTE: added a bit after comparing each again

In reply #5 is also an original sticker from a 69 Shelby. If you take notice all 69 jack instructions have an illustration that shows what looks to be a Cougar quarter panel (ADDED: its sort of the same shape but with different body lines. Sure is a long quarter for a Mustang IMO)  on certain versions has Mustang front fenders, head light buckets and front bumpers. Unlike the example cob428 posted with the Cougar front end. Guess for the illustrator it was just a short cut (ADDED: by using a similar shape).

In the picture below you can compare the upper left jack instruction decal from one of the unrestored 69 Shelby examples I have,  with the lower right (C9WB-B) with the space saver from a Mustang I have on file. Notice the differences in the illustration. Sorry for the poor picture (didn't take the time to go back through all the pictures to find a better one at this moment) but you can still see the difference. Of course there are numerous other differences - just focusing on the "Mustang" verses "Cougar" reference I made above.




As far as application and usage I've got two different versions that show up on original 69's but the majority are the ones Bob pointed out with the pad in the illustration. It appears IMO that some or all of the early cars got an earlier version of the jack instructions.

Mr Speegle in essence depending on your  vehicles production date, either could be correct.

Specifically in a concours event.

A 1967 Mustang at that.  No Fender Marker Light.

 I doubt that the illustrators instructions was to capture details to that level. Kind of like the shop manuals that were often put together before the cars were produced and the use of generic drawings or pictures from other manuals to provide the basics. Do take notice that when compare like above the two quarter panels are not exact copies (one has an additional Cougar like body line) but both are drawn longer than one for a Mustang would be so again not exact representations at all and both served the purpose for the owner.

Now that makes sense now
Thanks
