    Yesterday in Big Bear Ca I came across a grill shell with adjustable shutters like a Pines Winterfront being used as yard art. It is in pretty good shape but I have no idea what it might have come off of. I searched images on the web a little bit and didn't come up with an answer. I was thinking somebody here might recognize it. Thanks for any help. IMG_6023.JPG IMG_6025.JPG

    1929 Essex.jpg It is not Dodge Brothers. It is for a 1929 Es***. That is not a winterfront. Those are thermostatically controlled louvers.

    That's it! Sure didn't take long.

    Here is a photo that shows it a little better.

    When I was a kid my father told me Es*** cars were named after the town of Es*** near California -Arizona border on route 66 as that was as far as you could get in an Es***. As a kid I didn't really know if he was kidding or not.
    Thanks for the help.
