Dash vent

I wanna say Pontiac something; 3 taillight clusters, 3 deuces, following the pattern of 3. Looks like a vent handle lower-right. Taillight incorporated into a slamming hood? Nahhhhh. OK, it's 24 hours now………………………….
something something Buick something
I have no clue whatsoever. I'll check back in on this one in two days.
The lower right side looks as if it might be hinged. Like a gas door or concealed headlights or something to blend in with dash vents. But the "vents" are definitely blacked out and not real holes…
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
Front fender engine "vents" on late 80's Buicks…. Nope, drat. those were single row…

Maybe an access panel on a vintage motorhome… searching…. searching…
Maybe the 1st prize for the DT 4th birthday Thursday Twister contest.
Keep up the guesses, guys. To help, I will answer the first yes/no question that comes under this comment.
vent under the headlight of something?
No. It is not a vent under a headlight…BUT I will tell you this — up in the image might not be up in real life.
DAMN!
Electric window switch panel,
or,
Batmobile?
Fold…
New photo added above to help you guys!
P.S. I promise…this is not an AC unit…
…frikin bone here?…
OK, is it the grille of some large 80s Olds or Pontiac from when they were really square and the noses had that wide center section painted body color, maybe a Delta 88 or a Bonneville?
Very VERY warm.
85 Hurst Olds Grille
Oh that is funny, posted that and then saw you guys had a Hurst Olds posted on the site! I don't think the grille matches though.
GOT IT!
It's a 1976 Olds 442. I swear Vince didn't tell me the answer. KBZ's guess above sent me sniffing down the right trail.

Nice job Chris. I was searching various Malaise-Cutlass variants and missed that one. Looks almost as sexy as grandma's '75 Laguna S-3.
Just checking back in – I can't believe it! I lusted for one of these cars in high school… Nice one!
