Looking for a car for my brother in law and spotted a few 94/95 Fleetwoods and this got me wondering if a Caddy grill would work on my 94 wagon ?

It would need a lot of modification.

That has the whole front clip of a FW attached to it.

That's probably the easiest way to get everything lines up properly.

If you read the article, it states it's not just bolt on, mods were needed.

You cannot bolt a FW clip on a B body.

So I'm always on the lookout for Roadmaster wagons and today I run across one at North Shore Classic Cars it has a Caddy grill and hood emblem on it . It's done up pretty nice it should be for almost 13 grand so now I'm on the hunt for an inexpensive grill to see how much it would take to make this work .

I say go for it Wojtek. If someone has done it before it is doable, not necessarily easy but doable. I have been looking off and on about changing the grill on my Olds to something like the 70's Olds with the recessed grill. I know it will require some modding but so does repairing/replacing other stuff on our cars. Just a general idea of what I'm thinking about.
