Given the bumper and the chromed windshield hinges, this might have an early Tux Park package on it?

It also has the Tux Park – style tail lamps but I didn’t know the TP option was available that early.
Folks, this appears to be an early Mark III Tux. Yes, you have the normal chrome hinges. You also have the chrome safety latch, chrome correct speedo, tail lights and bumpers. There are at least several other thins evident of a Mk III: Cream color grill peeking out from under gold paint, indian ceramic seat backs with black faux tuck n roll seating, Indian Ceramic color peeking out many places on the body. AND Indian Ceramic painted steering wheel. Plus, the Mk III never had a hood badge like the IV. This is truly what’s left of a Mk III!
One other thing: Unlike the Mark IV, the Mark IIIs did not have a column shift.
Great info Barney. I’ve never very familiar with the early Tux packages.
