I, nor the previous owner, knew it was a Y88. I almost feel bad.

Weird my 78 y88 had gold window trim thought that it was original

[brian c]

T-tops should be gold tinted. And one thing I noticed the other day was that the front window glass anti-glare is also tinted gold....or at least it is on mine Now if I can track down those gold t-tops and get $$ set aside to buy them....

[pwrcat4000]

I mean all of the stainless around my windows it was gold and shinny (at one time) gold tinted t-tops and gold trim all around the edge with brown stripes. I am the second owner of the car bought it with only 50K on it in 1984. Could it have been a dealer add? Gold round center caps not the hex centers with gold birds also had and has 60 series tires.  Bought it as a dealer trade in west TX, but I did get to talk to the previous owner she said it was all original just like it was when she bought it new except she added a second rear speaker and changed the radio out. My windshield glass is long gone I have replaced it twice myself (damn crow).
Brian,
I think I know where a set of gold fisher t's are here in Kansas.  I will check on the price if the guy still has them, the guy is kind of old school not on the internet "that is the biggest waste of time ever" I was keeping track of them in case I ever trashed mine.

The gold window trim could have been dealer change or someone with a little time on their hands and some spray bomb paint. In either case, definitely not original from the factory that way.

I know where there was a set of gold t-tops in NY...shop #1 had them. They brought them down when I pulled my car from the shop. Being the better person that I am, I told him that they weren't mine and what they would fit. No way am I going back there to get them - yes, I have that much hate for that shop. And hate is a mild word for my real feelings towards them.

IF the guy's interested in selling them, let me know a price and I'll see what I can swing

[pwrcat4000]

well they did not look painted more like anodized anyway they got kind of dirty looking so some time in the early 90's I used steal wool and "cleaned them" they are kind of a mat silver now but I was thinking of having them plated gold or something some day and of course some one jacked all my centers so they are silver now too w/o the emblems the dash face same story as the trim but I know that can be restored but if they are supposed to be black guess I will go with that.
