I wonder if his statement about driving it every day affected his premium on his policy, It does make a difference!

I recently found this photo of a nearly identical car, oddly enough this one too has the same nose/grill fop-aux.....

The early grills on a 73 nose look really good. It takes away the sharp point 73's seem to have.

???...this is where My dyslexia kick's in, I've always preferred the full depth look of 70/72 grill surrounds over the 73 redesign. to me the 73's look more blunt or stubbed in comparison......I think it's fair to say there's probably more 70/72's running with 73 nose job's then vise versa.....

I always thought 73's looked more pointy because the grills don't come up and meet the front of the nose. Oddly enough both noses are the same size, so the look comes from the grills themselves.

I can see how the 70-72 noses could look pointy tho.
