I saw this add on CL for a 87' Cutlass which obviously it isn't but appears to be a 79' but also when I search 78' and 79' Cutlass some have grills that continue on top of the header panel, is one for a Supreme? I am not real familiar with the 78'-80' Cutlass.

yes you are correct. the top pic is the header/grill that came standard on the cutlass calais and was an option on the supreme and supreme brougham.
the bottom pic has the header/grill for the supreme and supreme brougham.
oldsmobile did similar thing in 78 and 80 also.

There were the 2 different header panels and a bunch of different grill inserts between them. Something like 7 IIRC.

6 in total. two different headers for each year of supreme/calais between 78 and 80.
this does not include the wagon or salon bodies.

great pics, thanks. just for reference, the first pic has an 80 cutlass supeme, possible supreme brougham in white and a 78 calais in blue.
the second pic has the 79 hurst/olds which was based off the 79 calais. this header/grille was also optional on the 79 supreme/supreme brougham.
