I am thinking of buying some quarter panel pieces for my 69 Cutlass, the area that goes down around the tail lights. The question I have is is that area the same on the convertable and the hard top? (This includes the area where the rear marker lights are up to the trunk lid lip)

Yes... but

The side markers and tail lights are the same, but the top of the quarter is different from the convert to the hardtop. Unfortunately the only patch panels you can get for a 69 are the partial quarters. These are designed for the HT and require some work to adapt to the convertibles. If you're only using the end, you should be fine. If you're actually getting used factory panels, try to get ones from a convert.
