Default Re: 1969 Chevelle front grille

Here are the original part numbers I have from one source which is normally fairly accurate.

3938180 - Malibu, SS, COPO, Elky.
3938106 - 300 Deluxe.
3942789 - Nomad Wagon.

Just out of curiosity, what is different about the Nomad Wagon grille from the rest? If memory serves correctly, I think the Nomad used a grille like the 300, but was completely naked, with not even a bowtie in the center... my guess is its the same grille, with no emblem holes in the center. Anyone confirm this?

I don't remember seeing a Nomad Wagon grill but I did see a "fifth" 69 Chevelle grill that had different trim pieces then the Malibu, SS, or 300 grill. It was not on a Nomad Wagon when I saw it but could have been from a Nomad Wagon originally.
Counting the two SS black out grills,
Chevy made at least five different grills for the 69 Chevelle line so there seems to be difficulty in getting the 69 grill to look correct. Many restored 69s I have seen have incorrect grills and even the new reproduction grill is painted incorrectly.
