This appears to be the correct grille for your rig?

Not even close. Once again, Google Images will answer this question for you.

Note how the Olds hood is depressed in the middle, as opposed to the Caprice hood that is raised in the middle, with the grille to match. Also note that the Olds bumper is straight across where the Chevy bumper dips under the grille:





Were you thinking of this kind of grille?

I believe that is the LS style grille and I don't like it.

I believe this is also 1985 correct. I had these on my old Delta



In fact, this is my old Delta:



The new ones look like this, and I hate them: (accord to the site I found them, it's a 1980 style)

The grille on the donk is what I need ive got a royale brougham and its nice and all but it being plastic makes it hard to do mesh or billet inserts n I like the caddy style grills better anyway
