Here is an interesting item for sale on ebay at the moment. A gold Allante grill. I've never heard of any Allante coming equipped with one, so I think its a replated original or aftermarket product of some sort. Anybody have any info on this? Thanks.

No more info, you can see the mounting holes for the Wreath so I think it is a replate of a chrome OEM, very nice.

No Allante ever had a OEM GOLD anything .. except the keys.
not even the gold-paint Allatne had gold anything ..

replate .. often dealer provided, but never factory.

There are a lot of new car lots that sub out gold plating for customers who want certain things done, including script. Used car lots too hire these guys. After they are done with your grille they can do your faucetts in the house.

I really like anything gold. (Ron Paul wants to put us back on the "gold" standard) Would raise the value of the dollar and cut the price of gas in half!!
I guarantee you a gold grill would attract a crowd in any parking lot!

this is what was on the grill ...
The USAF Col that first owned the car, sure liked gold.
The car has it everywhere ...

maybe I should hang it, the emblem, on my walls. It does look attractive.

If it's small enough it might fit on the round center rear brake lense. I have a gold one epoxide on mine and it is a "touch" of class!

Next year I gotta redo the door to the cave that is in really bad shape.
I was thinking, there .. on the new door .. or the mailbox.
