THE Dodge Dynasty Website
3 Grills
Yes, the Dynasty got 3 different grills during the 6 years of it's
production.
There is the common grill which we all know (seen on the car
below)
This grill made it onto almost all of the Dynasty's (from the
factory).
But there was also a grill used in some of the higher priced
Dynasty's in the early years, which was almost identical to the grill
on the FWD NYer/5th Ave. This grill had all vertical bars, no
pentstar in the middle, and a pentstar hood ordament, as seen on this
Chrysler below:
Next came the 3rd Dynasty grill type- a set of vertical bars with
the pentstar in the middle of the grill (used in some higher priced
Chrysler Dynasty's - aka Canadian versions, some international
versions...).
I was able to obtain one from eBay that came from the canadian/US
border in maine and was apartently brought into the US from Canada
where it lived out the rest of its life, died and was scrapped. Sadly
this specific grill was delaminated (the chrome was plated onto a
plastic grill and sometimes the metal foil chrome would peel off or
bouble up). Faced with restoring the grill, I decided to paint it
gold and use it as-is (shown below).
There was also a company which sold a custom (aftermarket) gold
plated metal grill for the Dynasty. I believe it was the same company
that made kits for converting the Lebaron's into different cars
(E&G Classic Customs??). Its not a OEM item but worth mentioning.
