I will have a look for the one I have this weekend and post a pic if I can find it. If you would like it I will send it to you.
I will update on Monday June 5th.

None of the aftermarket sites reproduce this piece. I see a few that look like them for the side of the roof on other cutlass models.

Let me know what you find Eric. I have talked to Ron out in Indiana olds parts place. He has not found one in his inventory.

I found it, but I forgot it on the coffee table at our trailer, my dam good memory !
The chrome is really nice but the emblem has a small crack in the middle kinda, not a big crack but noticeable up close. It also seems to have some whitening around the edges underneath, It wont clean up from the outside. I guess its showing its age a little.
I took it off of a 1976 442 parts car years ago and has been sitting in a box.
Let me know what you think, if you want me to take pictures of it, I can't until next weekend and post next Monday thou. It's definitely not NOS haha.

Would prefer NOS. Have a pic of your piece?

I don't have a parts book for the car to find the #. Anyone have a part number for the front grill emblem on a Cutlass s 442?

I'll post a pic Monday night, I'll also post the part number from the back of it as well. The emblem looks to be in a bit better shape then the one you posted on the car. Just a bit .

I know you would prefer NOS, this is the only one I have. Maybe deaddds will come up with something much nicer.



The part number looks to be 551417 with additional numbers KBC-2 62001 . '
Hope this helps deaddds.

Two emblems available for 1976...
553237 - w/ Y76
231982 - Exc. Y76

The 551417 Eric shows may be a casting number or a part number that has been superceded... Although it doesn't show up in my parts listings, it still may be the correct emblem...

Will keep that piece in mind Eric, appears that one is a bit better than mine. Prefer NOS though seemingly unlikely to find.

No problem Alex, I hope you can find a NOS around somewhere. If you can't find one in time, and want this one later on, just PM me your address and I'll send it to you.
