What Color Are First Generation Barracuda Grilles Supposed to Be?

And so starts another debate...I believe the grill was body color on certain colors only. Mine was natural (pot) metal on a barn find 65 that was a copper paint color (looked stock as everywhere was copper painted even engine compartment) but the fender tag said silver poly. Grill was definitely not copper....I personally don't think white, or red or light grills look correct but I've had mine for 25 years so I'm just used to seeing it like that. I have looked at sales brochures and can't seem to find proof that they were body color as the rear is usually pictured. Anyone got some Plymouth or Valiant sales brochures that show the grill as body color on a few different colored bodies? Cant comment on the valance, never noticed it 2 color until you pointed it out in that pic...with the stripe painted wrong but who's judging. Goes for the radiator support painted a light body color, no way! You should not see it through the grill, makes the grill look cheap IMHO. Flame on!
