I always understood that the grille area on the Monza where the Corsa
inserts would otherwise be found was painted silver on the Monza.  Chuck
Armer used to have a low mileage '65 madeira maroon Monza convertible, and I
believe that the insert area was painted silver on his convertible.  I
recall that the car did experience some pretty serious collision damage and
was repaired and repainted, but my understanding was that the silver was
correct.

Anyone out there own an original paint '65 Monza?
