Does anyone have a picture of the correct grilles for a 1972 Cutlass S? or did it vary?
i am convinced my grille is not correct to my car

Thanks

Register at http://wildaboutcarsonline.com/cgi-b...plate.cgi?id=8 then go to the library and in the Olds section you can check out the '72 assembly manual and it has grill identification, should be in section eleven.
The site is an invaluable resource.


Check this out too.

I see them with the Supreme and 442 grills too but I think they've been changed and they only came with the grills pictured originally.

found out it is one of the grilles
though i cant for the life of me understand this manual completely so i cant tell anyone the specific details of why that certain grille is on

Do you have another car? You mentioned a 72 Cutlass S. Your avatar pic shows a 70 rear bumper on Cutlass S?

As mentioned above that 442, Supreme and S cars had different grilles.

DOES anyone know if there is a button template for the locating the buttons when recovering seats for a 71 cutlass ?

If you buy Reproduction covers it "should" have little black dots on the inside where you're supposed to make the holes for the buttons.

I decided not to install buttons for my car. I dont want more of a chance of the fabric ripping.

Hey thanks Tony that a big help !! I agree with you I feel the same way I do not want to take a chance of the new seat covers ripping . thanks again . PS im new to the site so trying to figure out how to use it. thanks again .

bought from same place . same interior except my car is dark blue. sport coupe with post. Tony im new to olds big gto guy . can you tell me if the sort coupe ( post ) is rare car ?

Bobby,

GTO and Cutlass were both A-Bodies, If you post your VIN and Cowl tag the folks on this forum will be able to tell you if you have a true post/rare car.

No worries, I understand your concern, when i bought my own car the Previous owner told me my car was a post car, being new to olds i thought, great, i have one of the 6500 odd post cars built in 72.

Turns out to be a post you need to have an actual "post" running from the door to the roof. Ive never actually seen a post car in real life. But would be cool if you have one.

Tony I have just that 1971 post sport coupe with the sedan post from the door to the roof. i posted a picture hope i did it right if not send me and email and i will send pictures
