well i've had the car home about a month now and i've been mostly cleaning it and making a list of things the car is going to need and a list of the things i want and one of those things is the grand grille. like a kid on christmas morning i couldn't wait to put it in. the reason the lower headlights didn't go back in is because they fell apart when i pulled the rings off and i didn't have time to get new one's.

66 Grande Parisienne grille is iconic. Looks good on the Strato Chief.

Ah, forgot you had a 66. I knew it, you actually are a closet 66 guy hiding under the mask of a 67 and up lover...

so, when you swapped in the grilles, what did ya have to do? any other parts needed, or did you jut take the old ones out and all the GP stuff bolted in? Thinking about doing the swap to one of mine..i like the look...

well i found a minty bumper this weekend i'll put pics up when its on the car. it just bolts in place of the original just make sure you have the nose cone between the grill as the old one is part of the grill. i also found out the hard way that there is a bolt behind the headlights to take out to remove the old grill. evrything else just bolted right up. it definatly changes the look of the car.
