LOL. Some things I like about the 75's versus 74's. The horizontal grills with the signal lights look kind of like canine teeth versus the 74's vertical, widemouthed grills.
Due to how faded out the original grills were, I never actually noticed if they had a black inset. From photos on the interweb it appears that the last inch of the grill (including the slats) on some models were all blacked out to begin with. Was this the same across the board in 75 from base model to T/A? I'm beginning think the Esprit had all-silver grills? Be that as it may, maybe this is on the list for a winter project. That sure would take a whole lotta masking to keep the silver front area intact.
Here's a photo of the original grills back in 2011 before I repainted them.
