Re: Late Australian 1937 Fords got an updated Grille
Partway through the 1937 model year, Ford Australia issues a new Sales Brochure reflecting the change to a painted Grille and added Chrome Strips.This is the cover of the updated Australian Sales Brochure. Personally, I love the new look for 1937 Fords. Why didn't the USA adopt this new look? |

Merc.....I really like the look too, and I have a '37 coupe. USA most-likely didn't adopt because Henry was a cheap-ass.....he hated spending unnecessary money on the cars. DD |

Re: Late Australian 1937 Fords got an updated Grille
Anybody know what to use or where to buy these pieces? Looks like a nice way to dress up a standard grille. Thanks

Period photo of an Australian 1937 Ford Sedan with the updated Painted Grille with added Chrome Strips. This photo was taken in 1938 at Hobart, Tasmania. A friend located this great photo at a recent Swap Meet. |

Re: Late Australian 1937 Fords got an updated Grille
These late Australian 1937 Fords look great with the painted Grille with added Chrome Strips. Why didn't Ford of USA offer this Grille? |

That looks an awful lot like the 1937 Lincoln grill... probably my favorite grill of all time. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro Last edited by SMLBound; 09-25-2018 at 08:36 PM. |

Re: Late Australian 1937 Fords got an updated Grille
Tub1, Here is a picture of my Aunt with the 37 Ford on an outing with the girls in her Sunday School Class. My Grandfather sold the 37 Ford to his daughter, my Aunt when he purchased a new 1946 Ford Deluxe Sedan. Unfortunately, my Aunt traded the 1937 Ford in on a 1951 Vauxhall Velox in 1951, and that was the last the family saw of the 37 Ford with the "late" Grille. The family still own the 46 Deluxe Sedan but it has not been running since 1966 but has always been stored undercover. |
