Always liked this one, from. liljoe on here.
I hope that he doesn’t mind me posting it.

 

Not sure if these are interesting ?

Pines winter front ? ? ?

Commercial ?

 

Gotta love the 80's.

 

My old Deuce pickup.



My old beater.



My old 5 window.



I think I see a pattern. HRP

 

I made this one for a guy and have made them in a number of configurations

 

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.

 

Hard to improve on the original style insert. HRP

 

I completely agree!

I don’t know.........
I think ‘liljoe’ may have in post 3........

 

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?

 

Here is mine...
I hope it is not from the wrong side of the town.

 

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.

 

That would of been perfect for that movie " Halloween Town"

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

 

Crazy. I do like it!

I got to thanks others for the design...
Glad to know it fits in here.

 

There's a huge thread on this not too long ago.

 

Some really good pics and info.

 

JMO, but it needs more holes. I'd swiss cheese that thing.

 

hard to beat the stock item

 

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

 

Any chance of a link to it ?

 

Thanks clem, this just made my day.

 

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

 

27 Dodge, Chevy grill shell, Two 58 Ford grills as insert... Poor man's 32

 

My 32.
