So it was then past onto the dealership to correct it.That jives with what I've learned from former salesman back then.And they usually didn't care unless the customer spoke up about it,which was almost never.

JL8Tom,

Here are some simple things that I figured out:

Most Judging is partisan to a degree and it has to be otherwise a show with no rules becomes a nightmare to govern for the participants.

Most Websites are also the same way as there is pressure to conform. This site is a rare exception where respectful debate is permitted with an occasional thread lock then someone gets a case of sore paws.

What many miss is judging or forums will never replace the first hand experience of the builders when it comes to explaining an exception, and I am honored to have ready access to a number of these fine men today when I need to ask.

On your specific car and grill? The Superintendent stated &quot;absolutely&quot;. So there is your Proof for what it is worth.... .

Exactly.

I must admit reading this thread has been an education. Keep it coming!

Never discount human error on a manufacture production line. And i am sure there were plenty of factory mistakes.

I would have to think that on more than a few occasions a factory anomaly managed to slip by the inspectors and make it to a customer.

Per a supervisor on the Ford assembly lines in the '60s and '70s: You kept the line going but couldn't downgrade a part. An example he gave was that it was OK to put a large battery tray (and even a larger HD battery) into a car if you ran out of small battery trays, but you couldn't put a small battery tray into a car that was supposed to be fitted with a large one. Another example would be to put a nicer steering wheel into a base model car, but not vice versa. I would think that a black vs. argent grille would be considered an equivalent part that would be an acceptable substitute (not requiring rework) if GM had a similar policy.

It does a bit of a disservice to the originality portion of the discussion when normalitive practice takes priority over originality. With each consensious car that is created a bit more history is lost.
