TheDriver ◊ 2006-04-01 17:10	Yes you're right, I see what you mean, but it is a 1965 model!

The Electra's grille has a similar shape but it has full width taillights, fender skirts, longer rear overhang and larger chrome moulding on the sides. The Wildcat has a different grille, no hood ornament, different moulding on the front fenders and more chrome on the tail panel than the LeSabre. It has the same stainless steel side trim as the LeSabre. The LeSabre has an anodized aluminium grille and rear panel mouldings while the Wildcat and Electra do not have aluminium trim. Here are pictures of my '65 Wildcat Custom 4 door hardtop to show the differences. It's front clip is 3" longer than the one on the LeSabre and the same lenght as the Electra's front clip.
