Car Grills

[Bruce Bowker]

Name as many well known brands that have kept their distinctive grills (or reasonably close) throughout their many years.
As an example, Rolls Royce.

Daimler - furrowed brow

 

[Shane]

Maserati

 

[Lukens]

1940 Ford

 

[Bruce Bowker]

1940 Ford

The idea is grills that a car has kept or reasonably close to the same. 1940 Ford was only one year.

I forgot about Volvo with the diagonal stripe. That has been around quite some time.

 

[JPSmit]

Since 2007, Kia - tiger nose

Not so much a car but a car designer, I've always thought it easy to spot a Frua designed body by his distinctive (to me anyway) front ends/grills.

Cadillac has been using the egg crate for a long time now.

 

[sd80mac7204]

Chevrolet... With a few exceptions the bow tie stays in the center on a center bar. Bar is either painted or part of the grill/ chrome or not so shiny metal

and Buick... my 94 Buick Century loaner has a very family look next to a co-worker's 2013 Buick something
