The center badge is removed from the grille, for whatever reason, and there appears to be chrome gravel guards, which also appeared on the shorter wheelbase Invicta, but not the LeSabre. So either a 4639 Invicta 4d HT or a 4739 Electra 4d HT. I doubt it to be a limited-production 4839 Electra 225 4d HT.

That's right, It's either an Invicta or the base Electra model. The Electra 225 had different rocker moulding (the part extending on the front fender was larger).
