So I was thrilled to get my new grill for my '63 in the mail today. Take a look at the pic, and tell me if anything leaps out at you:
When I saw such a nice piece, I didn't hesitate to pay the $60 for the mesh and shell.
So here is the deal... My old mesh is much finer and has only wide horizontal bars. That said, the old one is rusty and bashed out of shape, but the "8" badge does not fit the new one. Was the different grill used on 6 cyl. cars? I couldn't find any google pics showing a car with this grill. Oh well, its too nice not to use.
