For over a  century car makers have known the grill is the face of the car whether its the aggressive shark-like snout of the Dodge Charger or the happy little french moustache on a Karmann Ghia. As they say, the eyes are the gateways to the soul, so too is a car’s face its window to its essence. Much like the human face, the grill of a car is the expression of what lies behind. Varied and expressive as every human emotion, a car’s face can portray how it intends to handle the road of life. Here is a collection of just of few of the famous we have grown to love over the years.
