1952-59 Ford Grille treatments

Nice pictures to get ideas from

 

They all look great, but I love #3, that car is perfect.

 

Amazing how much a stock '54 Ford grill looks like a custom piece just by leaving the center bullet off. HRP

 

Please educate me. Has the green and purple car had the hood welded to the upper grille surround ? I have a tube grille like the red car but have not entirely decided about the surrounding body work. I am considering doing that ''peaked look'' of the green car to mine.

 

#1 is perfect for me.
Interesting what HRP said. Gets you wondering, but one can see that there is a lot more work to it than just bolting in a dif year grille.

 

#1 for me also. I like the color too.

 

Another interesting grill treatment.. HRP

 

Not sure of the grill opening differences between 54 and 55 but the 55 Plymouth grill, on the first one, bolts into the 55 Ford opening. I elected to keep the stainless around the opening where the first one decided to peak the opening.

 

Here is the One in My Project Car!

 

Sweet. No turning lights on the front?

 

I have them. Using LED turn lights from a motorcycle. They are fairly bright even on a sunny day and they really show up when they are flashing in a turning scenario.

Ah... smart move.
That grille is what? 55 Plymouth?

 

Sure, you had already wrote it. Sorry.

 

Kaiser Grille?

 

Notice the '54 Fords using the '55 grille surround trim? I also found some really nice used step plates from a '55 will fit my '54 only had to re- drill several mounting holes.

 

Yes, It is a 1954 Kaiser Grille.

58-60 TBird bumper on my 56 Victoria. Also decided to make my own grille insert to be able to fill the grille opening with more bars. The stock TBird grille only has 7 or 8 bars in it. Lots of work but something I always wanted to do.

 

GREAT! Now I have to find a 55 Plymouth grill for my wagon. Thanks a lot Jeff

 

A 56 Plymouth will work as well

 

Here's a picture of grill of my 53, I have never seen another like it. I wanted to be different.

 

It is different. But very cool. Pretty bad***!

 

Pontiac grillss were done in the 50's and the rear 55 Pontiac bumpers with the overrider look killer on 52-54 fords

 

X2! Very innovative.
