Our new front grille

Just thought I'd show you folks our New Front Grille we bought off of E-bay yesterday. Our old one has scratch marks & chrome finish wearing off and this one is in good condition. :cool:

That looks almost new. I never score anything cool on EviBay anymore. At least someone on here has better luck than I do. Congrats. Or, should I say, Congrrrrats?

We wanted to let everybody know we recieved our (front grille) in today's mail and as the Seller had promised. It's just like what you all saw in the photo almost brand new but with one thing I believe different it's made out of "Metal" not "Plastic" like the one we have on our Cougar. Did they make both kinds back then? :dunno:
