Hey everyone. I have a 1980 special edition cutlass supreme with the y68 package. I am searching for grilles and headlight bezels to match the ones I got. Roofers broke the passenger side with there ladder and god only knows what's happen to driver side(before I got it and before my buddy got it in the early 90's).All the 80 cutlass grilles I see are different. Anyone know what car they used this grille on? I seen some 4 doors with a grille like mine has. Any help is appreciated!

I seen the 20 square egg crate grilles on them but haven't ran across one with 25. yet any way. There's probably no aftermarket manufacturers reporoducing there are there? This has been a 5 year local hunt with no success. At least now i have a general idea! Thanks

That's the only car I have seen with the same grille. A 1980 442. What are you asking for it? My grilles are ok just fading. But my bezels are bad.

I'm not sure what models you've been looking at with 20 squares, but O.D. Showtime and others are correct. The grilles that you have in your car are no different than '80 442 or '80 Cutlass Calais.
Below is a pic of one of my '80 Calais' with the factory grilles. 25 squares, same as yours.

And no, to the best of my knowledge there is no one reproducing these yet. Your best bet is to post a wanted thread on here for some.

All I have been looking for are cutlass SUPREME grilles as that is what I have. So when I referring to the 20 square I was meaning 80 supreme grilles. Sorry if there was any confusion about my original post. I have just started looking at Calais grilles after that post. I did find some 20 square on them too. Looks like they had lots of different options thru the years.

That is not a 1980, it's a '79. Single headlights, different grilles.
This is an '80 Supreme, mine as well.

And yes, there were several different grilles available, dependant on year and model.
