1987 Plymouth Gran Fury Grille

dytch2220 · Mar 24, 2018

I've noticed that the grille on my car seems to be less common when I search images of the car online, whereas, the more common grille for cars of the same year is one with less chrome. What gives?

Hi-Chrome

Different, Low-Chrome

Mystery solved. It seems that a Chrysler 5th Avenue grille was installed on my Gran Fury at some point. I noted that there was an extra marker light hanging loose behind the grille when I went to change out a headlight and I became suspicious. A google search of the 5th shows many images matching what is on my car.

So, now I'm looking for a 1987 Gran Fury grille in good condition if anyone is selling...

Have to get the whole header panel too.
It's not just a grille swap.

Thanks. I knew it was more than the center grille piece I'd need but wasn't sure of the technical name for the rest of it.

Thats a picture of my old '82 Chrysler... (I think that was one of the eBay pictures)

A Dodge model called the "Diplomat SE" had the headlights-below-signal lights arrangement. The front side-marker lights would be in the fender rather than the header panel.
