Weekend find...

[mitchs66]

I've slowing been gathering parts to start a build and had a customer tell me he had a grille he would sell, so I stopped after work yesterday and bought it. I think it may be a little taller than I'm wanting and seems to be in good shape but I can always shorten it...[

He told me it was from a 1936 Packard and I think that looks correct. Sorry the picture got on here upside down....

Nice grille. I don't thinks it's Packard though.

I believe it is a 1936 Studebaker grille

Yes, thank you for the correction. He did say Studebaker, we were looking at some of his projects and talking about cars he had in the past

Thank You. I have a 30-31 Model A cowl and doors, 50' of 2 X 4 3/16" steel, Econoline front axle and a 305 with some different transmission options that I'm planning on building a shop truck out of. Just one piece at a time.

Thanks again guys. My Dad gets pretty grumpy from time to time, but I'd be lost without him. I've learned a lot from him. Hopefully I get a few projects out of the way this spring, and get a few more pieces gathered up I can start my build.
