The attached pix is of the grille in my '36. The car is a Aug, 36 car, the grille is original to the car. I am the second owner, have owned the car 64 years.
The vertical bars are bright chrome on the leading edge, dull/brushed chrome on the sides. The vertical bars are crimped into the shell in lieu of being a one piece.
I believe the original Ford grilles were like mine, the replacement grilles were one piece, cheaper to make..
