Just wondering if anybody knows for sure. My 65 442 has the small grille sections between the headlights, on each side, painted flat black. I don't see any evidence of overspray. Except for the three center bars, the grille center section is the same. Bro's web site touches on this but it's vague. I don't want to put my shiny cutlass ones on if they're supposed to be flat black.
Anyone know for certain, beyond all shadow of doubt?

 

Get in touch with TK-65. He knows a lot about 65s

 

perhaps your referring to something like the item in foreground as compared to the two in back?

 

Yes, Paladin31, I believe you've hit the nail right on the head. Is the one on the left, and in the foreground of other picture, the correct 65 442 part?

 

Yes, I have ran across the same question before. I confirmed thru 442BRO. Most comprehensive site Ive found for 65 info.

Check this out. Hope I helped. Best luck. Brett

 

Thanks Brett, I checked the link. It shows the Cutlass piece. Went back to Bro's site and found the correct 442 picture. Don't know how I missed that before. Guess I was focused on frame identification. I don't see any mention of the grill on Bro's site, but my grille looks mostly black, similar to the head light piece, and I see some of Bro's car pics are the same. Think I'll keep it that way. I'll paint my headlight parts the same before I swap them, as my 442 ones are pretty beat, and need re-finishing.

No, TK, but I went looking for it before, and didn't find it. Kept finding one page sites that didn't seem to go anywhere. I appreciate the link, and will definitely be joining that forum.
