    Of these, I always liked the Olds front end better in terms of looks.

    It is a good looking example, rare to see a H-body interior in that good of shape

    It has the wrong upper cover on the front end. It should have a split grill.

    Good catch, Brad. Looks like someone put on a Monza front cover. Here's what it's supposed to look like - same for '75 and '76:

    Oh, crap, you're right. I guess I liked the Chevy front end more. But that Olds one's still pretty stylish.

    This is my 1975 Skyhawk. Monza's and Skyhawk's shared the same nose except the Buick had much more trim than the budget Monza.

    It looks like a Skyhawk grill on it, probably had some small front end damage in the early 80's. Tough to find an Olds Bumber cover, rarest of the 3 HB models that year.

    At least the Olds emblems were put on it.
