30 grille shell
I have a mid year 30 coupe with a 31 grille that I recently purchased and am looking for a quality replacement as the 31 shell doesnt match the ford maroon.I understand the repros dont fit well can someone suggest a source for a guality piece? Thank you in advance for the help and also for all the knowledge I have gained from using this forum its a great help.

Re: 30 grille shell
When I need something like this, my first call is to Bert's in Denver.

Re: 30 grille shell
31 repo shells don't fit at all.

Re: 30 grille shell
Thanks I will try Berts. My original 31 shell fits perfect but I need a 30 shell to be correct.

Re: 30 grille shell
Don't have his number on me but I bet someone else on here can list it. You want to call Doug Bruce in New York. He's the go to guy for Model A stainless pieces. All are restored originals and look better than new. An original restored radiator shell is probably going to be around $400-$500 but that's just what it cost. Anything Bert's has is probably still going to need to be restored by Doug.

If you call him, he normally has beautiful cowl bands, bumper clamps, and restored original gas/radiator caps that go on so much better than reproduction.

Re: 30 grille shell
Doug Bruce 1-607-849-3454 .N.Y...Doug has 1930 shells in all price range depending on what you are looking for [TOP SHOW to a really nice driver]. He might trade for the 1931 and $$ for a 1930. He stopped restoring shells a year ago do to health issues. When he finds someone willing to file the stainless steel for him then he might restore a shell for later sales.. you need to speak to him ...peter
