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, 11:05 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, 07:47 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.

So I finally found the car I was looking for. It is a beautifully maintained 1935 Ford Deluxe Convertible. The car had been with the family, I purchased the car from, since the early 1950s, 60+ years. Now the fun begins and the trip down the rabbits hole starts. I have plans to do many things to the car....You do not have permission to view this gallery.

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, 02:36 PM -
Before I get too ahead of myself, where does a 170A-B Deluxe land in terms of rarity? 'Not hard to find'....'Don't see many around'? Drivable original, barn-stored for 10 years for this example. Not fishing for value, more of an availability question.03-05-2021, 06:27 PM -
Hi buschwacker here new to the forum. I have a 40 convertible having a very difficult time finding hardware bolts etc. not very many pictures either. It was completely apart when I got it. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated .02-02-2018, 10:09 AM

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
