Ho can I tell the difference between a 68 and 69 Coronet trunk lid when it's off the car? I'm helping an older gentleman find one for a project he has. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

1968 dips down in the middle of the rear edge of the lid

I'm just going to add that these are very hard to come by. Most of them will be rusted on that bottom lip. Good luck!

Not to mention that they get messed up in junkyards when people bust into them because they don't have a key and just want to see what's in the trunk.
