Need Help Identifying these Grilles
Can anyone identify any of these grilles?
These are NOS grilles that I've had for several years.
I couldn't find the numbers in my parts books, but I think they're 73-75 era.
The part numbers are (top to bottom) 415566 (RH), 414667 (LH) & 414324.
The first one is metal, so I suspect it's for a Delta 88 or 98. The other 2 are plastic, probably Cutlass grilles.
I'm not that familiar with the mid '70's stuff so I'm not sure of the applications for these.
They are for sale if anyone is interested.![](http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i318/67oldsmobile/grille415566front.jpg)

Cutlass Cruiser goes back at least to 68 if not further. Essentially a flat top Vista Cruiser on a 116 inch 4 door wheel base. Heres a 66.

and below a 72. I guess I'm getting way off subject though.

When you used the word "Cruiser", the first thing that came to mind was the
"Custom Cruiser" which,
as I remember, was like a "98" wagon.
So, the grilles in one of these are unique to the Cutlass Cruiser?
I think the 78-80 Cutlass Cruiser used the Cutlass Salon grilles. Salon during this time was the hatchbatch looking although trunked slant back Cutlasses that did not sell as well. Also in the mix for a different grilles around this 78-80 time was the two door Calais which had sorta an eggcrate grille. The Salon was deleted after 80 and resurrected again around 83 or 84 as a base for the rear drive 442 replacing the rear drive Calais which would soon became a smaller front wheel drive car like the Grand Am.

The first photo you posted looks identical to 74 98 Regency (Based on some literature I have).....
The second & third photos do appear to possibly be 73 Cutlass or Vista Cruiser but I don't have any good photos to compare it with to say definitely.....
As for the part numbers, I also could not find any listings... But, that is most likely because those numbers are casting numbers which in some cases are only one digit off from the actual part number.... For example, the part number 414667 you listed could have been the casting number for 414668 which is the grille part number for a 73 Cutlass (Model AJ)...

best guess -
The part numbers are (top to bottom):
415566 (RH) - '74 98 & Custom Cruiser pt# 418958 (LH pt# 416741)
414667 (LH) - '74 Cutlass pt# 418947 (RH pt# 416576)
&
414324 - '74 Cutlass Supreme, "S", Salon, Vista Cruiser pt# 418950/418951 I believe that is RH
