So what's HJ Deville? Whatever the case the thin slat is not my cuppa.
They definitely do bubble. I had NOS upper and lower SL/E grilles in the box and the chrome bubbled off the plastic. They are cheap crap grilles like the aftermarket HZ ones you buy today, all the rest have stainless around them apart from the HZ Caprice which has a big alloy bit at the top (which gets die-cast pimpling in it).

HJ Deville and Caprice are the same grille, just the Caprice has the nice scrolled Caprice badge. HX-HZ are all the same fine slat grille for both Deville and Caprice, just different paint treatments and the HZ Caprice getting the die-cast bar on the top. These are the ones you don't like, and i'm sorta with you on them except I like them better than the SL/E grille.
