    Maybe not what the OP intended, but since some originals have been posted, here's mine. A very straight Henry insert with remnants of original grey paint.

    Not being a 32 Ford guy. I have a question. Where did the split grill come from? I have seen some pretty old pictures with that vertical divider. Was it custom from aftermarket or custom adapted from another grill?

    The Pines Winterfront grill was an aftermerket company that offered a "shutter" style replacement grill, and not just for Fords.
    Better described here:

    They have become extremely collectible and expensive, many people simply want the look more than function and make their own center divider bar.

    Ahhh ok. I know about the Pines grill being big money. Because I am not a 32 guy I forgot that is what the split grill was. Most other cars it was just an ugly addition.

    I'm seeing a lot more of the additional center division bar on original '32 inserts, Some could be aftermarket pieces, I had a friend use a piece stainless trim on his insert. HRP

    The stock grill insert is clearly the best looking. I hate to say the pines is just ugly IMO and could have bought several over the 30 years collecting hot rods . They are just a bit thick for me but a combo stock insert with a thick center bar is *****en as well

    From my "Aluminum grille inserts with lightening holes" file.
    The white insert in the A coupe belongs to @Royalshifter .
    Hope this helps.
