'36 5 window, there's a flat rubber seal (hard as a brick) on the top of my grille. I don't see it in the green book or any of the parts houses. I'm guessing it's not original but thought I'd ask.

That is a correct part. I believe it is called grille shell lacing or radiator shell lacing. Available from various vendors, including Dennis Carpenter and C&G Automotive. Look for Part # 68-8222.

If you don't already have a copy, you may want to consider purchasing the 1935-1936 Fords book from the Early Ford V8 Club. It contains lots of great detailed information about these cars.
Their book store is closed until August because it's being moved. Here's a link to get you started: https://shop.efv8.org/

Thanks! I ordered one from Third Gen.

I have the wonderful '35 - '36 book, use it all the time. I didn't see it in there though, probably just overlooked it. I'm getting blind
