buick grille? what year?

I can't seem to find the right match for this grille.. I know within 5 minutes someone will say Here it is, idiot. Well I've looked at 40-53 and they are similar but not near as many bars.. So it might not even be a buick..

 

54 I think

 

I've got a 48 Buick grille- I KNOW it's not that one- bars are way too narrow on yours.

would be typical that I stop looking one year before.. does look a lot like a '54

thanks desert

 

I have 3 - 54 Buick's, sure looks like it. It should be 2 piece's of chrome diecast, not stainless cap's.

 

1954 Special & Century are the same size.

Super & Roadmaster are the same but a different size. Thats what I was told.

I have the first 2 mentioned. Yours is a 54!

 

Looks like the insert on a 57 Buick bumper/grille.

 

The 47 & 48 grilles Pictured are right for those year, in silhouettes 57 post. I have 47 & 48 grille's they have stainless steel cap's over the grille teeth.

1954 is the only one with chrome teeth that has a diecast grille in 2 pieces. 1953 is like the 47 & 48. The same goes for my 46 grille cap's again. I have all these cars up to 57's, that's chrome diecast. Hope this clears up things.

 

It's a '57 Buick grille.

 

this one is die-cast. It isn't like the '57 special we have, so I think it is a '54

 

Most definately a '54.

 

Dude that's a 54 Buick, I have a 54 Buick, just look at my profile page.

 

57 Buick and in good shape, I've had 53 and 50 also a 55 and I think it's a 57 pretty sure. I am a Buick guy but I certainly don't know everything. Rags

 

1954 Buick, taken mine off, plenty of times to know that's one...

 

One more time. Both 54 & 57 are chrome diecast. I just went out and counted my 54 Special/Century's grille teeth. There are 49 teeth. There much thicker, big time. With a little contour.

I counted my 57 Super grille teeth. I think I got 115, might of miss some or counted some twice.

The big tip off is there's over "ONE HUNDRED TEETH " ! Double the 54's teeth.

The 57 grille is more rounded, You can see it . There thin and close together. The ends come more to a point, where the the round part of the bumper ends are.

 

ChuckleheadAl got it right, that photo is a 1954 Buick with a 54 grille

 

Amen to that, and very expensive to get rechromed too
