I believe that you forgot to add the "IMO" or "IMHO"...because not everyone would agree with you...I certainly don't...never cared for the '69 grill...looks like someone at the design studio felt compelled to "wedge" something in there and then they wisely cleaned it up in 1970. JMHO and for any of my 1969 Valiant owning brethren who might happen to be enamored of those grills - I mean no offense.
