I have in my parts inventory this used splash shield:

It's made from cord re-inforced rubber, smooth on both sides. There are 2 explanations for this item - that it's an actual OEM splash shield, or I cut it from a sheet of rubber using an actual OEM shield as a template. It would have been for a '67 Monaco. I've only ever owned or collected parts for '65 and '67 C-body. There are no holes for clips along the bottom edge. There are tears and likely pieces missing.

Detroit Muscle Technology shows this for a '65-'68 C-body:

And they show this for '69 - '71

So according to them, what I have matches '69 - '71. I'm stumped why I would have it. So I'm looking for a reality check as to what pattern would be correct for 1967.
 
:shrug: the DMT 65-68 is the correct fit one, i also have them.

I suppose the OEM one you traced out was just a rogue Fusie part that somewhere along the line got the reputation as a 67 slab part. ;)
