I assume there is no difference from a 69 chevelle front clip and 69 chevrolet station wagon front clip. I seen one today and i noticed on the nose of the car it read Chevrolet in cursive. On Chevelles it says Chevelle by chevrolet. There appears to be no difference, but i was wondering, with the two different emblems "Chevrolet" and "Chevelle by chrevrolet" are the emblems interchangeable or do more holes need to be drilled for one?
How can i find all the original colors of the 69 chevelle, ss and non ss?
Thank you.

Like you have already been told before, there is NO difference except for the minor trim differences and the core support difference between a non air car and one with factory air.
I'm sure changing the emblems will require drilling new holes.

Here are a couple of paint charts but depending on your monitor, the color shades may not even look close to the actual real life colors.

Thanks dean, i know your getting annoyed with my various questions about a front clip, to you these questions and comments are idiotic but to me i really dont know these things. My dad passed away and left this car to me, a car which he totally loved, and im restoring it in his memory but i have no knowledge when it comes to cars. straight up...i am a dumb ass when it comes to cars, but im trying to learn as i go, and i know i have a lot of questions. didnt really mean to get under your skin. thanks for the leads on the paint.
peace
Oh, I'm not annoyed at all Brandt.
I guess the point I was trying to make is you can keep your original posting going by just adding a reply to it rather than starting a new thread on the same subject over and over.
So are you trying to replace the front clip with one from a Malibu with air or what?
About the only thing you probably really need to worry about is getting a core support with 4 bolt holes accross the top where the top radiator mount bolts on.
The ones for a small block without air will only have 3 bolts as well as having a smaller cut out for the air flow through the radiator.
All the trim and emblems are too easy to change or modify but it's a little more difficult to modify the wrong core support.

What im trying to do is find a front clip in good condition, it doesnt have to be from a malibu because im sure i dont have air conditioning. But thanks, now i know what to look for when i find a core support.
Thank you
