strange 40 Ford grille
Has anyone ever seen a sheetmetal grille for a 40 Ford before?

Re: strange 40 Ford grille
Slightly off topic, but the grill that came with my '39 Deluxe Fordor was stamped "Argentina". Painted silver with no stainless steel strips and no chrome center piece.
Guessing this one has similar origins and the comment about JC Whitney very plausible. |
