In terms of manufacturing, there were (and still are) 2 grills made, and each was painted one of two possible ways to make the 4 combinations.
I don't have an SS style grill here but I do have a non-SS one. I just checked it and there are no holes for the emblem.

This is what I have found out from my research on 69 grills. There were 4 GM Grills sold for the 1969 Chevelle. One is the Malibu grill with a center bar that is about 1/2 inch out from the grill and has a flat with holes to mount a center bar trim piece. This grill is also used on the SS except was blacked out on the SS grill part. The bars were silver like the Malibu. There was also what I call the "300" grill sold that has the center bar about 1 inch out from the grill and no holes for the center trim. This came in silver for the "300" and black for the "300" SS. All 4 GM grills have 2 holes to mount a center emblem. I don't know if the repro grill has the holes. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas Newell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2003 3:02 AM Subject: [Chevelle-list] 1969 SS Grill emblem? > Hi...i was making a 1969 SS clone, i have all the emblems on but the > front grill.. i bought a SS396 emblem, i was wondering do i need to > drill out the holes on the center bar to mount this? when i bought the > car it did not have the bowtie emblem, should there have been holes to > mount that on my grill, or is that mounted different? also is the grill > on the SS a different color, then the Malibu? could some one please > help me out with this before i start drilling holes? thank's Tom > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Chevelle-list mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://chevelles.net/mailman/listinfo/chevelle-list_chevelles.net _______________________________________________ Chevelle-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://chevelles.net/mailman/listinfo/chevelle-list_chevelles.net _______________________________________________ Chevelle-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://chevelles.net/mailman/listinfo/chevelle-list_chevelles.net
