    How many horizontal bars does the GS grille have?
    I have a skylark grille in the garage andit has 8
    I just won an auction on e-bay for a blacked out grille which was auctioned as a GS grille but it appears to have 11 bars? Is this correct for the GS? I've heard from one member here who thinks it's a sportwagon grille. Anyone else care to coment on this? I don't know one from the other.
     
  2. GS and Skylark have 8 horizontals in 68, the difference being color scheme between GS and Skylark. Otherwise they are the same.

    The grille with 11 bars is a Sportwagon or Special grille. The center area where the bars come to a point is also different on this grille. It is a solid piece, while the GS/Skylark grille is "open" between the bars all the way across the center point area. I could do pics later.
     
  3. BTW, either version will physically fit in a 68 Buick A-body.

    Pics would be great thanks
     
  6. Here's a 68 GS/Skylark version. Note the open style thru the center of the grille and the # of horizontal slats.

  7. Sportwagon/Special version. Note the solid design of the center nose area.

    The big question is of course, is a 68 Special/Sportwagon grille worth $350? Will a GS emblem fit this grille as well?
     
  9. Replied to your PM. Yes, the GS emblem will mount on that grille. Value is on the high side.
