what was the correct radiator cover

I have seen several W30 cars with the standard radiator covers. My W30 came with a standard cover, however the car was torn apart and he may have given me a cheap one and kept the $200 cover. Can anyone confirm this?
Thanks,
Dave

Exactly how is your car optioned, as far as you can tell?

Rear gear?

AC/Non-AC?

Original radiator support still in car?

The car has a 3.42 posi, no A/C, but it has a 4 core radiator with the wide supports on the bottom of the core support. When the guy dissassembled the car he put everything in boxes and marked all the metal parts with chalk. The standard cover was marked for the car.
Thanks

Top Covers

Dave
I'm not sure what you mean by standard cover. I have a 1969 W30, 1970 442 and 1971 Cutlass wagon project cars with 4 core radiators and I believe they all have the same top cover. Somewhere along the way I was told the mutiple fan shroud holes were not on every one, but I don't remember the details well enough to say for sure. The photo below is from the 1971 Cutlass flat top wagon. If you have a 4 core radiator I'm thinking this is the style of cover you should have. John

I picked up one a couple months back, so now I have one of each.
