I think they may have been reasonably useful, but these particular ones WON'T
fit the whole range of years that the ebay ad says. I know that the grills were
indented in '66, but how about '67?
My guess is that these will work with non-indented dual grills as found from
'67(?) to '70 ('68 to '70 for sure.)
One could also argue about which direction they should face to get the most
airflow. Facing backwards might actually be better.
