To eliminate proof that these grills did not come from the factory on a particular car that was being sold as a no hit, unrestored car?
According to legend more parts must be inspected before the truth is known"

Thanks guys. I'm going to pick up a set of correct side lovers and sell the ones on there. Easy enough to change and not cost prohibitive or difficult to find so I'm going to put it back to period correct to match the rest of the car.

That would have been my guess. Just counting dots.[/QUOTE]
My car is an April 71 build......but.....I have found evidence of some repairs many years and about 3 coats of paint ago so I would think the 70 side vent was a replacement.
