Hello Sages,

I have acquired a bit of trim in a bulk parts transaction - however, I don't quite know what it is or what it belongs to.

I assume it is to the Hood or grille surround on a 60-61 Valiant but I am not sure. It came with a bunch of '62 valiant stuff, but I know it does not belong on that car.

Yep, that's it.

Thanks, Uncle Dan!

Would this be a '60-only part? That is my guess.. as I think the grille/hood/trim is just different enough that they do not interchange.

The '60 and early-production '61 Valiants had different grille surround parts, so the fitment groups for parts like this are ['60 + early '61], [later '61], and ['62].

Everyone knows that was a one year only 1962 chrome paint stirrer! :D :D

Gladly. This still leaves the mystery of which kind of '60 and/or '61 parts you have in hand, though, duznit?

Not Sure, Maybe,

I buffed up another piece, and I realized it is '60/'61 too. Looks like I have 2 out of 4 pieces of early Val trim that is of no use to me.

Hopefully someone out there needs these - I hate to scrap them, ' cause as soon as I do someone will need it.
