500  It's more sporty looking.  Front bumper on the coronet don't help it.

SO hard to choose a favorite (I like them ALL), but admittedly I like the '69 the least.  :no:

Not to knock on the C500, and I think the grille itself looks nice enough, but it was put too far forward in the bezel.   As is known, it was done for aerodynamics, not looks, and as such they stuck it out as flush as they could get it, which gives it an odd look.   I think if the C500 grille were set back a couple of inches it would have been really really sharp looking, but as flush as it is you wind up with something that looks... "off".
[ŌŌ]ƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖ[ŌŌ] = 68
[ŌŌ][ƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖ][ƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖ][ŌŌ] = 69
(ŌŌ)[ƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗ](ŌŌ) = 70

Hey there SurfCharger, you wiped out when you put your car together,  it's got the wrong grill in it.

You know when I was stationed in Southern California, I saw more than a couple 69's with 68 grills. When I asked the owners, they told me it was a 68 1/2. LOL :brickwall:
