Does anyone know if the grill in a 53 US Pontiac Chieftain is the same as the 53 Canadian Pontiac? I have found that the hood front trim is shorter by about 1 1/2 inches. Does this mean that the nose grill is smaller also? The problem started when, I sent my 53 Canadian Pontiac grill out to be replated and they lost it! I did get them to replace it but I trhink its a 53 Pontiac Chieftain nose. I would like to buy a complete 53 Canadian grill. Does anyone have one for sale?
I believe that it should be the same, the only big difference comes with the longer wheel base for the hood and side trims. I know the 52's grille switches over.
