Here's the grill on a Special.

I couldn't find the one on eBay to compare.... It would fit, since they are the same body, but if it is different, it wouldn't be "correct" or "authentic".

Here's a Skylark:

Perhaps my car is missing the tri-shield emblem in the grill, or perhaps that was only on the Skylark. Either way, the basic grill is the same.

The grills are the same, with the skylark having the grill badge. Though i have seen a few specials in junk yards that had the badge on. They had been there quite awhile and the badges seemed to have been there from day one. I have a couple of grills, if you still need one. Also quite a few conv. only parts. I live in Mar Vista. West side of sunny so. cal L.A. Rick

Thanks Terry and once again thanks for the info on the grill now i can rest alittle better knowing it will fit.
