Grille - Center - Hood - Grade B - Used ~ 1970 Mercury Cougar

Disappointed in quality

Let me preface this review, I understand this is a nearly 50 year old part, however I feel the listing page for this replacement was misleading.

Upon browsing for this replacement grille, the product page provided multiple pictures and the prompt 'Only 1 Left' As such I was left to assume the pictures of this product were going to be the same grille I would receive. Sadly, this was not the case.

The grille I received was in much worse shape than the 'Grade B' part shown in the pictures, with large amounts of rust in the fins and dirt caked in the rear. 3 of the 4 mounting points were either broken or missing hardware.

What I was provided will work, as the page says 'to fill a hole' but its going to require more work than I was expecting. At this price point, if I had seen the actual pictures of the grille I would receive, I would have waited and saved up for the repro that is also for sale here.
