Hello all. I am looking for one NEW u-shaped molding for 1972 cutlass supreme driver's side grille, or a really nice used pair. I have a brand- new GM reproduction set of supreme grilles from gm made around 1996 or so that i bought from year one, and the drivers side (the one with the "oldsmobile" script) was not produced with any u shaped molding. Thanks!
Chris

 

Still looking...

 

No one has this part?

If you bought a new repro set of grills they should include the molding trim like this

Allan, no I saw those. I need the outer u-shaped trim. I bought the GM repro grilles back in the late 90's. nice quality, but for some reason, they did not produce the drivers side trim (?)
Thanks

 

Chris can you post a picture of the grill you have with the missing trim?

 

Ok, ill do that. Thanks allan,
Chris

 

Here is a pic of my gm repro grille with the missing trim i need. I know i can get these repro, i was hoping maybe someone had a nice piece or pair that i could get for cheaper than buying new.
Thanks,
Chris

 

Now I know what you're looking for I can help you search. BTW, that trim is made from metal and the tabs don't tolerate a lot of bending. Maybe someone here has some junker 71/72 grills they can salvage the part you want from. There is a slight difference between the trim reveal from 71 to 72, but if that's not an issue for you both will fit.

 

Chris, would the 72 S be the same...if so, I think I have a grill with that piece..I will check and let you know....

Ted, yes it would work. Just have to be really careful bending those metal tabs on the back to get it off.

 

I have a real nice set of used grills. I'll try to get a pic tomorrow for you. Take a reasonable offer.

 

sammy and sampson, sure, let me see what you guys have. sampson, maybe if your grilles are nice enough and the price is right, ill try again to sell my reproductions in this pic. they are nice, just missing that one piece of trim. i posted them before but got no bites.
thanks,
chris

 

Chris, checked mine today .....and BOTH are cracked.! I will keep my eyes open for some

Ted

 

Thanks for looking ted, chris

 

Hey Chris,
here are some pics of the cutlass grills. Still has the Cutlass Script attached. No cracks, all brackets are good. If I was going to reuse these in my car I would not even bother to paint them. Chrome is good without pitting but not as glossy as new. There is some overspray on the back of the grills. Is $125.00 + shipping a fair price?
