Hi Ralph, For the first time, in 1938, the Ford Standard models had a completely different front end design from the 1938 Ford Deluxe. While the Grilles on the 1938 Ford Standards look similar to the 1937 Ford Grilles, they are totally different. What is strange is the the front fenders on the 1938 Ford Standards are unique to that model only. They are different to the 1937 Ford front fenders and are totally different to the fenders on the 1938 Ford Deluxe. Ford continued to have seperate looking models from 1938 up to and including the 1940 models. From 1941 onwards, the economy standard models had the same looks as the more expensive models, albeit with different names. Apparently this exercise of having two distinctly different looking models in the same year didn't produce the results that Ford was hoping for?
