Occasionally while browsing the net I come across a '69 with the vertical-bar grilles. Sometimes on a 442, sometimes on a Cutlass.

What's the deal here? Some option package or something?

I suppose I'm more curious than anything... I'm probably going to leave the originals on anyways..
There were only two grille options in 69. The black grilles with rectangular openings were used on 442s and H/Os. All other Cutlii got the silver vertical bars.
