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 just purchased a 1951 Ford Deluxe or Sedan or Custom. My point is that with so many names it is difficult to know exactly what the car is. How does one find out?03-15-2019, 10:05 AM -
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, 06:47 PM -
Hi all,
This might be a "rookie question", so my apologies. I'm restoring a 1929 Business Coupe and the bumpers are out being replated. They called this morning to ask if I wanted chrome or nickel. Which is best?
Thanks for any insight you can provide. As always, greatly appreciated.

Can someone please direct me to where I can find a gas gauge for a 38 Ford Deluxe. Complete with capillary line to engine block. I have shopped vendors until exhausted and hope someone may have some input for me.
Thanks

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, 01:36 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, 10:11 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.

My roadster is an older restoration using the term loosely,probably fifties late or sixties. I am doing some windshield work and noticed neither stainless upper stanchion has the liner like the parts vendors show,My question was this part regular steel inside the stainless and they could have been in rough shape and removed or did someone stamp a cheap repro with no liners? They are really dirty and...03-17-2020, 05:03 PM
