In response to Verne_Frantz
Eric said.... "My 62 shroud looks identical to it and has a D stamped into it".
Carl said.... "I've seen the slotted shrouds and the non-slotted (just a hole) shrouds sold on auction sites as genuine 62's and wondered if mine was original because it's slotted. Did the slotted version of the "3 holes per side" SB shroud possibly come out mid way through 62 production or were they specifically a 63 model year shroud"?
For me, my '62 Biscayne (factory V8) also has the same shroud as the original poster shows, and as Eric's, has the "D" stamped top and bottom with the slotted bottom bolt holes. (I'm sure the "D" is the manufacturers mark) This is in my third week of April (4C) built car. I have always been under the impression that this is an original part. Maybe..... maybe not???
Currently there are 2 shrouds listed on eBay as being 1962 parts, one listing showing the vehicle the part is being taken from...... a black Impala.
 Are there any other owners with a 62 V8 car, known to be all original, that can weigh in on this issue?
Until then, I guess the plot thickens. Well..... except in Verne's mind.  (No offense Verne, you're an exceptional source of knowledge on these old cars!)
