Your black car would have had the same valance but I think the front bumper was replaced with an NOS one 25+ years ago because there were no screw holes underneath where the valance would have mated with it. This may have occurred during the second owner's repainting, when the NOS quarters were installed. Additionally, the rubber nose material was very smooth and perfect on the underside, not something you see on an old bumper.
Not only screw holes but bumper has notches to receive the plastic valence as well. I am learning how to put the plastic one back from a good part source and a man with knowledge as to how to...





Raised parts on top of valence.
