    Welcome, Mike. Take some photos of what you have and I’ll bet someone here has one just like it. They’ll tell you what you got. Also, where to find the ID plates.

    Welcome a board Mike.

    Tons of great people and even more great knowledge here!

    We’ll help you figure out what you own!

     Welcome Mike, Glad to have you on the forum.We would most likely be able to tell you exactly what you have from pictures but if that is not possible ,ask any questions you may have any way. Look in the members photo gallery ,click on the button at the top right of this page, and compare your car to the ones in the gallery .We already know what most of these are so if you see one that looks like your’s we would be able to identify it as well.Look for small differences in grille height and the pan connecting the fenders beneath the grille,gas tank [engine cover], and the area where the rear fenders connect to the running boards as these are some of the most obvious differences from one manufacturer to another.

    Took me a few tries too.

    In fact, as I look at this, the button you need is not here. It’s a tree with an arrow next to it pointing up. Hope to see it back soon.
