1969 Camaro standard grill
 

From what I've read the bone colored plastic was used to mold the first grills & the last grills were molded in black plastic. What was the time frame when gray plastic was used? Thank you, Joe

Back in the day the service replacement bone-colored grilles arrived painted argent.

This one is actually gray plastic...Joe

Someone please show me a photo of " BONE WHITE PLASTIC " a broken section would be fine. Just sayin ?
See below thread.

So bone is the wrong term? They are actually light gray plastic?. Thank you, Joe

I don't recall ever seeing black plastic grills as assembly line original on 1969 Camaros?

Your 08E should be black Joe. Mine is 08D


This is my assembly line original from my 69.

So Dave. You're saying your original grill was molded in black. My grill is black like it should be but it was NOS years ago. The discussion seems to going towards there's no such thing as bone & that it is actually gray & possibly gray was used to make black & silver grills. Your comment would change that thought. So maybe Chevrolet molded a gray grill & a black grill.

For clarity, Stefano, you are specifically referring to Argent grills, right? Or are you saying black SS grills were molded off white and then painted black?
