Re: '69-'70 Grille Experts Check In,...

Actually Doug, your's is not OEM. It may be GM, but sometime in the 80's, GM changed suppliers and the style changed. The earlier grills had the lines that came all the way out to the headlight bezel. The later style stops short like the one on my red '69. Its not just difference in paint, the stamping of the grill is different. My grill was replaced in 1990 with a GM and its not correct, so this has been going on a long time. All of my original paint '69's and 70's have the grill with lines that extend further. All of the aftermarket and new GM grills use the newer design. A correct '69 ' 70 grill hasn't been offered by anyone for many years. Here's the difference in them. The last 2 pics of the newer style.

Lolife's grill is original, and painted correctly.
