'erayerdal', a sure give away would be if you could get close enough for a shot of the facia (dashboard). The Corniche facia was redesigned, and does not resemble the Silver Shadow facia. All of the other Corniche parts such as the badge on the boot lid, and the wheel covers, are frequently added to the earlier cars, to be purposely deceptive.
silverwrait2 .sure I ill let you know. when I saw this car again I will go near it and will take detailed photos. I didnt know that the followers need much detail. if I knew, I would take detailed photos.
when I took the photo it was 06am in the morning. I was going to work. That is why I couldnt stop and took detailed photos.
roycru I am correct.I saw this car before on heavy traffic.it is written corniche at back side.this photo 3rd or 4th time I saw this car before.when I see this car again I will take photo for you and send to your email. I am just not sure about if it is 1969.
the side marker lights are the specilities of that it is us version
From this distance and vantage point, it is hard to tell if this is a Corniche. If erayerdal is correct that the car is a 1969 model, then it is a Silver Shadow convertible, not a Corniche. Contrary to popular belief, the model name 'Corniche' does not designate a body style. This body already existed as the Silver Shadow convertible and fixed head coupe. The Corniche name tag indicated important changes to the model. Engine increase from 6.2 to 6.7 litre. Larger diameter exhaust system. A variety of changes. The Corniche model began with the 1971 model year.
In this case, erayerdal appears to be incorrect about this being a 1969. I believe this is an early series Corniche model. The depth of the grille shell was increased on the Corniche models, and to my eye, it appears to have the deeper shell. The car has a variety of issues though. The chrome embellishers around the wheel openings are incorrect, the side marker lights are not correct etc.
