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
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 |

Here are close-up pictures of these two different model Ford Grilles - 1938 Ford Deluxe and 1939 Ford Standard. I hope that these pictures help you in your research. |

Re: 1938 Deluxe vs 1939 Std Grille
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. |

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. |
