need HELP finding a grille

well while i was sleeping some a$$ backed into my car and took off. luckly he only smashed the grille. so ive been looking for a grille at wreckers and there are none for my car a 1989 olds 98 regency brougham. does anyone know if theres a diffrent grille to fit it like a buick lesaber grill or something along the lines of that.i figure a more popular car with the same body style would make things easyier

Re: need HELP finding a grille

Ouch. Thats actually kinda hard to find. Olds 98's aren't as common as olds 88's were. Any luck on Ebay?

Off the top of my head, I don't think the grille of another C-body woud work, but you could try one off a Park Avenue of the same vintage. PA's are kinda hard to come by sometiemes too though...

Yeah, its really a tough call. GM changed out the front headers so much on the H and C body cars because they were cheap and could make a car look very different for cheap, while still being able to mass produce them year after year.

New OEM parts are always expensive, especially from the $tealership. Junk yards are your friend.
