    Reminds me of a early 60's Mercury grill.

    Don't knock it. It was likely cheaper than my billet grille!

    lol.. I actually don't mind it so much but I'm not as much of an.. "OMG.. they ruined our perfect grill!".. purist when it comes to these cars though. And don't even get me started on the Pinto style tail lights. Thank god that Mercury saw fit to use those "cool" Montego/Cyclone lights on the Comets though. :p

    Aside form the keener AMC eye'd members here.. I'm guessing that would be fooling many around here if it had some fillers on the ends.. was blacked out.. with some nice driving lights installed. Or some ram-air ducts would look cool too. Plus.. it's probably more aerodynamic now too. :burnout:

    At first look, it appeared that it might have come from our friends down in Brazil - something we don't normally get to see.

    Then I realized that it was from a Hornet - I'm surprised it fit as well as it did :hmmm:
