I'm working on a '97 Eldorado. When looking up parts it asks if it's a base model or etc. Where would I find this info on the car? Im simply trying to figure out where on the vehicle, '97 Eldorado, I can find information on whether the car is a BASE models or the ETC.

I believe the difference is the size of the radiator.

My suggestion is call the dealer parts counter and give them your vin number and they will tell you the mode. I cannot tell without seeing it myself.

Not a problem. In all actuality, I think it has to do with the suspension. But thanks any how.
