There is no current production of the 1941 Ford center grille. Drake made the side grilles and had his mould man do up a mould for the center grille however it was never put into production.

I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to give a heads up that Alumicraft is reproducing the center grill for the '41 Ford. They don't show up on their website yet, but I called and they are currently available. He's got them in brushed / polished and full polished.

Nothing like an original 1941 Ford center grill if you can find a decent one.

Did they make the side grills in stamped steel? I found a pair on eBay and wasn't sure if they were custom or aftermarket. I have the diecast grills, but both sides are broken at the mounting tabs.

This Pair of 1941 Ford Grilles were for sale at the recent Portland Swap as pictured in a Hemmings Blog. The one on the left has the Ford Script at the top, while the one on the right is plain. The Grille Bars look different as does the Crank Hole. For further information, you would have to contact someone who attended the Portland Swap. Alternatively, they may have been sold?

$795 is a bargain I bet it would cost twice as much to rechrome one

I was told that the 41 super deluxe had the pot metal grills and the plain janes had the stamped ones. I've got two pot metal ones and one stamped. both tops have ford script. I doubt ford would have authorized someone else to use their name back then
