This grille has been hanging around in my shop for the last 30 years, so maybe it's time to have someone put it to good use. I know of no one who is selling reproductions and this one is in pretty good shape. A description is as follows, with attached photos.
The center vane was sold to me as NOS, in the original bag. It looks it to me.
The shell and vanes are used. The shell is very good except at the bottom where a shunt in the front probably pushed the bumper back into it. The grille could be used as is or be reshaped back to the original profile and re-chromed. One threaded mounting stud is missing.
The vane piece is excellent. Straight vanes, no dents or distortion, only old-age chrome on the front of the vanes with very slight pitting which almost comes out with 000 steel wool. Re-chroming always an option.
I'm looking to get around $285 OBO for the lot.
