horse collar grilles

it was suggested that i use one of these for my truck, but i was against it until i saw teemu's awesome coupe. is this a new trend or is it something that was done back in the day? pics?? any suggestions??

which is the one to use 58 or 59?

 

I think the 58 looks better. I have one that Im gona use on my truck.

 

is the 58 larger, or are the 58 and 59's the same? i have a 59 located, but i'm still not sure on using one.

 

here is a 59

 

I think the 58 is bigger or at least looks bigger in the car.

 

i'm gonna think on this one. i still don't know if i like it.

 

A friend of mine put a 58 Edsel grille on a 39 Pontiac coupe, along with the headlights from a 59 Lincoln. I thought it would look terrible, and I was amazed at how good it looked. I will ask him if he has any pictures of it (it burned up with a half dozen other cars when his 50 X 50 shop burned to the ground).

 

**** be different.... use a real one

 

Ya my truck was on hold for 6 months or so. I couldnt make up my mind in what direction I wanted to go with it. There is so much cool **** here to distract you and so many good ideas. I have finely starter working on it again and have a good Picture in my head of exactly what it to look like.

 

i think i'm gonna sell my factory 33 commercial grille and build something. i thinking i'll be spending some time searching for 60's show rod pics!

Couple of guys I know refer to the horse collar grille on Edsels as a ******.. If you stare at it long enough...


My vote is for the 58

 

That seems to be true of most things...

 

Who has a pic of that green T with one on it?!

 

Ya mean this one?

 

This is from back in -05 when Tobbe, of the Jokers had it!

 

Ah yes..... thats the one, I love that car in its green version and the grille just makes it!

 

Sunbeam Alpine?
