why do people help make old cars look bad

My 67 Dart came with a 68 grille, with the bonus center divider! Painted in a thick coat of gloss black. Ugh. I figured out the grille was wrong but discovered the bezels were correct, but with that thick goo on them. That was the first thing I learned about my car. It's bugged me ever since, along with the black engine bay! I found another (several) grilles, and finally a driver quality set of bezels. My grille looks awesome in it's factory finish and I love it!
