Aerohead's scanned image is 900 pixels wide, so I'm assuming the scan was done at 120 pixels per inch. If a scan of just the grille and headlight area is done at 300 dpi -

- we'd get a much better look at the actual grille.

The headlights of the period were pretty standard and came in two sizes. These appear to be the smaller ones. If we get a decent view of the grille in the picture, we should be able to make a reasonable guess as to actual size.
