Theoretically, yes, for chrome bumper cars. Your 72 I believe is a =
=E2=80=9Cfish mouth=E2=80=9D so it should have that bit of trim on the =
front of the bonnet that would need to be removed and patched to use =
other grilles. Or maybe it=E2=80=99s missing because the bonnet is 68?

That said, I have had in my possession an original early chrome bumper =
grill (65 or older), a 66 grill, a Moss reproduction 62-69 grill, and an =
original 73-74 grill, and they all have minor variations in fit =
dimensions. So some finagling may be required.
