Hi, new here. Just purchased a 73 Delta 88 Royale convertible. So far grandson and I are having a blast. Cruised it in the local cruise last weekend.

Will have many questions and help locating "detail parts". Car is straight, convertible trashed. Will have it replaced in October (first appointment I could get at the shop).

I have a puzzler, at least to me and all the local guys I know. The two front grill plates are hinged at the base and are spring loaded and can be pushed in. When released they spring forward and look normal. What is that for?

 

Welcome to the site, congrats on your new playtoy. Post some pictures as others will ask also. Not being familiar with your spring loaded grill, but an assumption would be shock absorbing for small impacts.
