You are correct!, It sucks not to have the grill. they bought this car for the grill and whitewalls and then they were going to send it to the crusher! I decided to buy it from them and due a reverse idea. (I know I'm a little crazy!) anyways I wanted to get parts from all others that pray on the desotos and other mopars for parts(like the Hemi engines) and called this car "a sweet revenge!" that is why it use to have a buick grill, a merc rear lights (never installed) 53 chevy belair trim, ford seats, etc, etc, etc...but I am over it right now, now I just want it semi decent to get moving.... MKSTR!
