explain how i ran a '68 ambo sst grill and lights on my '67 marlin for
a while?

i've looked at these cars closely.  afaict on the front only the
grille and headlight doors are different; bumper, fenders, and hood
are the same.

" 66 Rebel hood is the same as a 1966 Classic. Will *NOT* fit 67-up Rebels.

makes sense; '67 was the year of the big change to 4-link open drive
rear.  they also restyled the cars to more of a 'coke bottle'
curviness.
