Need help identifying grille
 
I was cleaning out the loft of my garage and ran across an old
automobile grille. I believe it is an early '30s Chevy grille, but I
can't pin it down any better than that. If any of you experts can ID
it based on the photos at http://picasaweb.google.com/Bruceman...entifiedGrille
I would be most grateful. (Yes, I'm thinking of selling it. Likely via
eBay, as I'm not familiar with antique auto parts supply lines.)
Thanks,
Bruce

I'm pretty sure it's a1934 Grill but it might be a 1935. They look
very similar and may even be the same but I'm not an expert on those
cars. I think the '35 is a little narrower than the '34.

I was trying to find a better picture of a 1935 grill. It's a tough
call but it looks to me like the '35 is a little more rounded at the
bottom than your grill and the one in 1934 photo. Judge for yourself.
I'm more convinced that yours is a '34 after seeing more photos of a
'35.

Forrest,

Thank you so much for taking the time to help me out. I had also
thought a '34, though I hadn't seen the '35 example you had found. I'm
going to put it up on eBay and see what it gets.

Thanks again,
Bruce
