The other obvious things to look for are the body colored slicer wheels if it is
white, the fact that it is green (if it IS green, since only Pluses had green paint
in '91), and the newest thing I have learned, the chrome trim around the side
windows, acting as a border around all the windows.  That is, it goes across the
tops of the windows over both doors, around the triangular fixed rear window, then
back up to the front again, at the window sills.

I had to look twice at the Plus from Hell to make sure that bright strip was
there....it is.  

They don't all have to have plastic hoods, or spoilers.  My parts plus did not have
a spoiler...it was a very early one, but it does have a rod shifter.  It originally
had a plastic hood, but that was gone, and a Taurus hood was there instead...all
crunched up after it had flown open at speed, since it didn't fit right.

Bottom line....the chrome strip around the side windows is the giveaway.
