parts quiz - identify this car grille
Permalink  

I had this grill sitting in the rafters for around 20 years 

I basically started hauling it to the annual swap meet every year hoping someone would recognize it and tell me what it was for

It weighed about as much as an empty beer can so it wasn't worth the trouble of hauling it to the scrap yard

In the last year I finally figured out what it is for

Hint - it is for a GM car of the early 60s - i know it looks like it is for a 62 falcon but it is notDSC04153.JPGDSC04154.JPG
