I need a replacement package shelf for the 1978 Cutlass Supreme. Are these common between vehicles? If so, I can source a used one or buy a new one in ABS plastic.

From what I've come across, all special coupes (37 or 47) use the same one. I replaced the original one in my Monte with one out of a Grand Prix & I have a core one out of a Cutlass for the boy's '79 which looks the same as mine.
I'm still trying to get all of this stuff straight and I appreciate any and all input...
So they've (37/47) all got the same windshield, rear window, and package tray, but the quarter windows are different?
All A/G coupes & pick ups use the same windshield, all 37 & 47 coupes do share the same rear glass, Now due to the quarter window designs per divisions those are different for each model with them being broke down between the '78-'80 & '81-'87/'88. The interior upper rear trim is also specific.
If you're still looking for a package tray Jim's got a couple for use with a 3rd brake light. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1458767383...d=link&campid=5335822911&toolid=20001&mkevt=1
If you want to go fancy and create a one-off that will take speakers and other bits of gim-crackerie, you can fab up a frame out of heavy fibre-board or thin lath using either quick set 2 part epoxy or staples and then apply a layer of fleece over that according to whatever shape and needs you have and staple it in place. The fleece gets a couple of coats of fibreglass resin to "set" your shape and then you remove the basic form and add glass or filler or foam or whatever you choose to use to generate the final shape. You can even remain at the fleece and resin stage, add several more coats of resin for additional thickness and then sand it all smooth. At that point head for the fabric shop and pick a color and fabric that matches your interior. You can bond the cloth to the base using headliner and fabrid adhesive; 3M makes it as well as others.
