    Early Grill (1965) - Stoddard or other?

    Hi all - looking for a 1965 Grill. See Stoddard has a repro on offer. Any experience or reason to look elsewhere?

    My experience with Stoddard is that anything that is labeled “concours correct” typically is not. Just marketing. No experience with the grill but would review return policy before buying

    Thank you I appreciate that note. I should’ve clarified that I am looking for a good reproduction and not expecting something concourse. I also have a reproduction decklid and much about my car is not original so I am looking for high-quality driver type of parts.

    I may have a Stoddards repro grill that I never used, general SWB application, not the very early tall version.

    Didn’t know it was you Rus, I have about 3 of that style to chose from. Very early cars had a special (rare) tall version, but I know you’re not into that
