Saw my first eyebrow grill yesterday and am disappointed

rjrobin2002 · Oct 11, 2013

I saw a 66 Bronco yesterday and noticed its eyebrow grill. I have to say with all of the talk of it i was disappointed and was expecting it to wink at me or something. I guess i just dont get it and have never been a numbers matching, all original type of car guy.

Hey rj, that's OK, you just go weld up some more of those neat alum. boats!!! Don't ever worry about those eyebrows!!!;D;D;D

I have decided if I ever get one with a eyrbrow grill, I am going to put it for free to a member on here that appreciates them on the site if someone will give me there non eyebrow grill.

Let me know when you get one. I've got a super nice grill I'll trade ya.

I think an eyebrow grille is very cool IF it's painted correctly. And the only one I've seen painted correctly is the Peroni's red roadster.

You got a picture?

Here you go.

I even copied it on my 66 non-eyebrow grille!

It's a very subtle difference!

Ask a Jeep owner about an eyebrow grill, and all you get this:

On a side note, I seen a van with a mustache the other day. Stupidest thing I've seen since the reindeer window antlers around Christmas.

Aren't we all so glad Bronco's have class.

The paint line in the red and blue one follow the top 'bubble' line of the grill.
In the top picture the portion of the red grill you can see, the paint line is above the 'bubble' line of the grill.

On the red one the paint falls within the eye browed part on the top of the grill where on a regular grill the entire basin is painted with the accent color

So this is the first I've seen or heard of an eyebrow grill, but it looks exactly like the grill on my 69. All original paint. Factory yellow with white grill and white headlight surrounds. Is this desirable? What's the difference? Just the paint?

Scoop · Oct 11, 2013

The 2 pics I posted ARE painted the same. The red is a real eyebrow grille and the blue is not. In addition to the paint line following the eyebrow embossings, both top and bottom, the first row of vertical fins are painted body color, again both top and bottom. Subtle, yes, but it narrows the look of the grille (by almost 2 inches), and I like it. Some may not.

Nyhammer, here is a good pic of the eyebrows. Compare it to your 69.

The red arrows point to what makes an eyebrow grill different from all the other years

NGABronco · Oct 11, 2013

The biggest deal is they were only on the earliest 66' Broncos, making them very rare, don't know an exact count but it is rare and therefore desireable by some. I'd be willing to bet it would command a higher price than a standard grille??;D;D

rj, you might want to rethink that trade deal!!!;D;D;D

Sure have been a lot of'em show up as of late....makes me think their not as rare as I once though

ProjectCumminsBronco · Oct 11, 2013

Crawdad · Oct 11, 2013

I bought one not too long ago for my 77 build. I hope it fits up well with after market fenders.
