1940
The legendary face that made the ’40 Deluxe an instant classic ever since its birth. Bob Drake first offered his masterpiece copies in 1977, made just as Ford did, requiring an expert tool- making team to carve the expensive high-pressure die-cast molds. It’s the only way to achieve perfection unlike lower cost methods such as
sand-casting or investment casting. It also meant using several old- school chrome shops to feed the demand while maintaining the highest level of quality chrome plating. Today Bob Drake makes his grilles the same, old-school way. While modern auto makers now use plastics and composites coated with fake chrome, our tradition of bringing you the very best is perfectly represented with this grille. No expense is spared because we know our customers’ expectations.
Included With Your Grille: CHROME CENTER STRIP With or without crank hole cover.
