I think there is only one maker of the C1 grill teeth, and all of the Corvette parts people sell from that source.

Interesting story. I wanted a set of black teeth for my '59 so I made a mold and cast some in urethane.

As far as I know Corvette Central is the only one that actually MAKES them. As per post #5 that is the part(s) that started their business. You may want to READ the link.

I would stick with Corvette Central. They make them here others sell imports that aren't so good. I bought a set and sent them back. The chrome Plating was not very good. I then bought the Corvette Central teeth and I'm very happy with them.
