Re: 1965 Grill Question

most of the 65 grills I have seen don't have the supplier name on it. service replacement.

Re: 1965 Grill Question

I will look for the supplier logo when it arrives. I thought the service replacement grill was the 66/67 grill.

Re: 1965 Grill Question

Mark...I thought all were stamped. I know they were not all stamped in the same location as I have another picture in a different location on an original grill. But some might have missed being stamped. I moved this week and am in disarray. Maybe someone can check the latest 65 judging manual and see what it says....may have or always has it or no reference.

Re: 1965 Grill Question

Gary - pg 80 of the JM says that the D & L appears on the outer lip, typically on the passenger side or the top flat portion 3 times about 18" apart. Maybe I have an old reproduction. Do these rivets look original ?

Re: 1965 Grill Question

Here's my "survivor ?" This post prompted me to look, and I found it on the driver side outer corner piece. As the car (not mine) had some fine enamel overspray, I didn't have the energy to try and locate the other potential locations. The stamping is only 5.5 millimeters long (under 1/4").

Looks like a real one to me. Here is another picture I took of a stamp on an original grill.

Re: 1965 Grill Question

My two original '65 grilles have the Douglas & Lomason stamp (D&L) in two different locations. One grille has D&L only on the RH molding
(p/n: 3860583) and the other grille has D&L stamped twice on the upper molding (p/n: 3866198) and the lower center molding (p/n: 3860578).
Size of D&L font on both grilles is very, very small . . . . .
