1938 Grille Trim

The 1938 was the first year of a very distinct difference between Standard and Deluxe. Notice the similarity between the Standard and a 1937. Then looking ahead, notice how the ’38 Deluxe becomes the basis for the Standard of 1939.

Great for any V8 powered machine . . .

1938 Deluxe GRILLE CENTER

Adds cool detail to seats, door panels, dashes, fenders or even your toolbox. These flat-mount emblems add a super touch to any hot rod, boat or other V8 powered machine. Each pair is made of precision die-cast zinc with beautiful chrome plating.

The grille center is a continuation of the hood ornament/handle. The delicate appearance of this part is misleading as it is made of strong die-cast zinc. We then triple chrome- plate it before the blue paint is added to the background. We call this graceful piece “The Swan”. 81A-8157-B $395.00
