Original mint or restorable 1939 standard center grill strip. Not pitted, bent or have any broken mounting tabs.

Thanks!

Sam,I have a Bob Drake reproduction center grille strip that I am not going to use. It is still in the box, I did remove it from the plastic bag to examine it. I no longer own a 39 Standard. I will phone you tonight if you are interested. Thanks, Tom

The Bob Drake item is the equal of the originals in fit and finish.
For some reason Ford made the 39 std one thinner and less robust than the 38 deluxe - it was easily broken by vigorous cranking.

Sam, I cant find your phone number. If you are interested in this grille center piece, please call me at 803-413-1287. I also have a new Bob Drake hood latch and base still in the box that I need to sell. I am willing to negotiate a reduced price on both of these items with anyone that is interested. Tom Byrd
