    No clue, sorry man. :Do No:

    I suppose if I had to guess I'd say 69 or 70 Wildcat or LeSabre, but I'm not sure.

    I was thinking more on the lines of a second generation Camaro.

    Oh, I thought it was assumed it was a Buick grille. In that case, I'm gonna say it looks like an early 70's Caprice grille. Maybe a 73-75.

    Who knows at this point. I can't stand the suspense. :af: :grin:

    I hate to say it, but it even looks like it has a Cadillac flare to it. Late 60's? Maybe too short though.

    I need to go to bed though. Gotta do the brakes on the GS tomorrow. :error:

    At first I was thinking 1969 Cadillac deVille, but a looked in an old sales brochure and they are a little bit different.

    Isn't there a number on it, or one of those little "clock-like number stamps with an arrow" to tell you the year of production ?

    Bill already told us what it is, I just came across this link when I looked for "1968 442 grille"
    No clue why there's also GTO, GS and other things written next to that photo......

    You're all wrong, wrong, wrong, it's off a Webers from KMart, it just got a little bent.
    I can still see some barbeque sauce on it!
