Hi. I am looking for a 39 ford deluxe grille. I see at shows and everyone's pictures they look to have new grilles. Where are they getting them? I have searched and no one seems to have a good grille for sale. Our original is in bad shape car was wrecked at one point , we purchased a grille and it's poor quality the center chrome bar won't even fit it. I see a lot of cars with what looks like new grilles and new chrome strips and I can't find anyone that sells the grille and the chrome is always on back order. Any input is appreciated.

Bill, most 39 Deluxe owners straighten the sheet metal and then have the stainless strips straightened and polished. If you bought a reproduction grill and it is poor quality, send it back to the vendor, explaining your problem.
You can advertise for a used grill on the following sites, at no cost:

I have noticed alot of Model A owners put chrome bumpers on their cars, it it because they prefer the shiney look? I would prefer Stainless Steel so it would last longer. Any ideas or input would be appreciated.02-26-2018, 07:47 PM -
Were the lever and brake handle chrome plated on the '31 Deluxe Model A as vendors lead you to believe? The picture in my original not reprint manual shows what seems to look like chrome plated. I just wonder if reproes are good quality or would it be better to chrome what I have as original. I just don't even see a speck of old chrome on my originals just old black paint.I striped and still do not...10-20-2018, 02:36 PM -

Going through my fathers house after he passed, I found a Ford Model 20 Charcoal Grille in original box. His Dad, my grandfather, had a Ford Service franchise or whatever prior to established sales and service...so I have been told. Does anyone know their worth or collectibility? I can send pictures or post them if there is an interest. In Keene, NH.10-13-2017, 11:11 AM

Saw in Area 12, page 15 of the 2016 RG that assist straps were not listed as standard equipment on Deluxe Tudors.
Also read in the new MAFCA published book (The Tudor Book) that these sedans did have assist straps from the factory.
Starting on page 19 of that book is an article by Mary Moline that includes 3 pictures of original unrestored Deluxe Tudors that
show the straps....You do not have permission to view this gallery.

After rummaging around in the nightstand drawer I found what you might have already seen on another thread, but now I have the only picture of my other car.
This was a 1942 Ford Super Deluxe Fordor Sedan. It came to me with painted pin stripes on the fenders and body line where a '46 to '48 would have the stainless, and only the stainless ring around the windows. There were actually never...You do not have permission to view this gallery.

Hi, I found a couple original 1940s era Ford bumpers when I was cleaning out my barn. I just put them up on ebay today (7/17/18). A friend said to mention this on a Ford Forum so people who actually know and collect will know they are available. Thanks. - DevonYou do not have permission to view this gallery.
