    This is not for me, looking for these parts for an acquaintance in the Chicago area. He may need the front bumper as well. I can get you his cell number if anyone has these parts available. Thanks.

    Are there filler panels below the grille, where they meet with the bumper? Sorry I haven’t owned a 1969, my 1967 has a flat metal filler between the bumper and the grille.

    filler = headlight door? dunno.

    all there is is a bumper, a grill, two headlight doors, and a bunch of chromed pot-metal trim.

    Or the three filler panels that go between the rear bumper and the trunk. As mentioned before there's only the grill, the two headlight doors and the metal trim pieces there is no filler on the bottom. The bottom and Grill is all one piece.

    Ok thanks for the info. I guess he needs the grille and bumper then. If anyone has these pieces it would help get this Riviera back on the road.

    Post a picture to help explain what you're trying to say. The bottom piece is no good without the rest of the grill being intact for the chrome trim strips to mount too. If it's just the headlight doors that are damaged they can be swapped for a good set.

    im saying that you can use the lower filler section and make the grill part out of wire mesh-better than nothin

    Sorry rp455, I understood what you were saying and I was keeping you in mind. I was waiting to see if a complete grille became available. Thanks for coming forward.

    Buickman do you have the center filler panel for the rear bumper to trunk area? If so I'd be interested in it.

    I have a nice front bumper. Shipping it would be costly from Ohio. PM me a number and I can send you pictures. Tom
