somename ◊ 2012-06-01 00:18	I don't think the hood ornament is a requirement for a 79 model; take a look at this 79 LTD from an episode of the The Incredible Hulk, that aired on April 6, 1979: /vehicle_470075-Ford-LTD-1979.html Also the clear side marker lights are unique to the 79s, in 1980 they became amber.
Commander 57 ◊ 2012-06-01 04:20	I based my statement on the 1979 Ford brochure which lists a hood ornament as standard for all models. (I suppose it could be a delete option or the ornament could have been removed from this car.) Link to "www.oldcarbrochures.com" -- Last edit: 2012-06-01 04:28:12
