76-77 Cutlass Header Pannel Question
Ok, I thought I had all the Cutlass model options figured out, as far as 1/4 windows, roofs, and header panels go. But I was wrong.
I bought a 77 Cutlass. The owner claims it's a 442, that just had the nose replaced with one from a Supreme. So after doing some research, I know there are two noses, what I call the straight, and then the slant.
I thought the slant style header panel, and grill were exclusive to the 442. But then I saw this in the classifieds.

So now I'm confused.... What models came with that nose?

And is the one on my car wrong for a 442?

the cutlass Slant nose came on the 442 and the Cutlass S only with the larger triangle shaped rear side windows and the the other nose you have posted came on the rest of them
and Just so you know the 4 door slant nose's will NOT FIT the 2 doors for some reason they just dont fit right

Did all 4 doors come with the slant nose? I know the wagons came with the straight one.
So no matter what, my 442, (or S) has the wrong nose then.
