Sadly, the black egg carton style grill on my 1968 442 has several cracked pieces. It would be great to find a new or gently used one in better condition. I don't need the "442" emblem.

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Repros are available. Try your favorite repro parts supplier.

 

This is the only place that I've found that may have one.

Go to Google and type in 1968 oldsmobile 442 grille

Note the correct spelling of "grille". EVERYBODY sells them, with and without the numerals.

 

Thanks Greg. I think that'll be the most affordable option. Lots of places were quoting me $80+ for shipping. Being that I'm a Canadian like yourself, most grilles priced under $200 end up being close to $350 CAD after the poor exchange rate, shipping, duty, etc.


Thanks for letting me know Joe, my mistake. That probably made my search a tad harder.

Sadly, not a lot of people do sell them despite being a part that's often broken. I should have mentioned I was hoping to find a Canadian retailer as well.

 

they are on ePay all the time

e.g.

or the $180 not-NOS ones

 

I can't help with a Canadian retailer, but here are the results of a 30 sec Google search:

Like I said, EVERYBODY sells them. Part Place seems to have the best price, but it isn't very different from others.

 

I've looking for a NOS grill and I've seen them for $350-$450! Not cheap!

 

I have a used one that is missing some black pieces just above the numbers. If you are interested in fixing yours I'll send this your way. $30 plus shipping.
