    I searched for a while and found some, but I know I have seen many more. Post up any Edsel grills on 30's cars/trucks or even custom concoction based remotely on the edsel grill.

    Here are the pictures I found, sorry if there anyones on here.

    Thanks!

    They don't look that bad on a hot rod. My dad has a couple extra of those, maybe I can see if he will part with one.

    I don't have a picture of it, but Joe Wilhelm customized a '36 Ford 5-window, channeled, quad lights, etc...with an Edsel grille...I know you said hot rod, but a '36 is sort of inbetween.

    They looked good on edsels but look kick *** on 60s style rods.
     
  13. There was a post the other day about a rod someone was thinking of buying, it was under a tarp, Tudor i think. It had a Edsel grill with Chrysler dual headlights bolted/moulded to the side of it........looked pretty cool also. Those black and white shots are cool as all get out.

    Want an Edsel grille? Int'l Edsel Club's having their Int'l Convention in Omaha now through Saturday night so there's a few dozen in one place right now. I'd post pics but have to develop the film then scan to CD...

    I've got my '59 Edsel grille for my "A" pickup I'll be starting soon. I will probably build it with a '32 shell for now until I build the Edsel shell.
