Identifying an '89-From the front an '89 will look identical to the '87's and '88's except for the lack of a stand up hood orniment. In the rear taillamps are unique to this year. They will have the same design as previous years, but they will be all red instead of the top bieng amber for a seperate turn lens. Also look for Eighty-Eight badging to replace Delta 88.
