1938 Deluxe vs 1939 Std Grille Can anyone tell me if the 1939 Standard Grille will fit the front-end of a 1938 Deluxe car? I know there are some differences in the stainless trim, but primarily concerned about the curvature and fitment. Thanks.

Re: 1938 Deluxe vs 1939 Std Grille They are he same shape and will fit; the 39 has holes for stainless on the bars; 38 has stainless down each side

https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/attac...p;d=1616115199 Here is a comparison picture of a 1938 Ford Deluxe Coupe and a 1939 Ford Standard Coupe. Notice that the have the same front sheet metal, including the Grilles, but look at the back section, the 1939 models got a complete make-over. The lower added Stainless Steel Trim is missing on the 1939 model |

https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/attac...p;d=1616116996 The removable side panels under the hoods of the 1938 Ford Deluxe and 1939 Ford Standard is where the biggest difference is. Compare these two pictures. |
Re: 1938 Deluxe vs 1939 Std Grille I don’t see the trim difference in post 3 other than the trunk handle.

When I was a callow youth, I thought '40 DeLuxes were the cat's ass. I went through puberty and came to the conclusion that '39 DeLuxes (and to a lesser extent, '40 standards) were the best. After looking at some of these pictures, I am gaining a new appreciation for '38 DeLuxes and '39 Standards. |
Re: 1938 Deluxe vs 1939 Std Grille Thanks guys! Great information as usual!

Re: 1938 Deluxe vs 1939 Std Grille Good to know that if I can't find good 39 side panels that '38 fit
