These grilles are made to close off the air flow to the radiator ... so the engine can warm up in a very cold climate.
These things are either " You LOVE them ... or You HATE them "
Because of their rarity, they have become a status symbol of sorts. It's like LOOK AT ME ... or I have more money to spent than you do :o We all know that if you have 7 grand or more to spend on a grille, you have a modern car to drive in cold, frigid weather and would not risk your 32 Ford in that weather.
Randy, you may be correct about that to a degree, but I think there is also an element of trying to have a different look in a perceived sea of '32s. I think we had a discussion on here a couple years ago that repopping the Pines style trim (without the flaps) would probably go over well to affect a different look. Of course, if someone would be successful with that idea it wouldn't be so unique.:LOL:Quote:

With todays bunch of 1-800 cookie cutter Deuces @ the events ... it is somewhat difficult to be different ... to the casual event spectator.Quote:

The above photo was in Street Rodder magazine last year. It was taken at the GoodGuys Indianapolis event :D
With over 200 " Deuces " there ... I bet there was not 75 steel 32 Fords in the bunch. :confused:
I bought out a old guy's stash of 32 Ford stuff about 15 years ago ( and I spent more than the price of a well equipped new American mid size car ) and I got a Pines Winter Front in the deal. After selling off some of the parts and pieces ... I had my money back ... and still had the Winter Front. So basically I had it for FREE ... but I sold it. Luckily, they do absolutely nothing for me and I do not have to try and impress a bunch of strangers and event spectators with my buying power.
Would I like to find another couple of them ... for cheap money. Certainly ... eBay they would go.
