Pines Winter....WTF

Wtf

 

It is/was an accessory grille that had shutters in it to close, or partially close, the radiator to cooling air in extremely cold conditions. Not unlike those used on larger trucks and equipment even today.

I think he's referring to the price...

They're rare I guess

 

Good for him. He found one bidder willing to pay the price he was asking. That's all it takes.

 

How does that old saying go, "the price of image is high"......

 

Rare piece,,but as Deuce Roadster use to say "you never pay too much you just buy too soon"

This is way out of my comfort zone. HRP

 

Guess it has that "special buyer"... As with most rare oddities... Just gotta find that guy. Lol

 

'32 Winterfront grille $9,400+++?

 

$9400.00 garage wall hanger
Wonder if he's got two , I need a sconce motif

 

Lol jay Leno....

 

The one bidder is his buddy shill bidding so he dont get skunked or not to look stupid money price

 

OOPS! .............. didn't look at the ad in detail


well..........ya know......those things aren't exactly growin on trees..

 

insert foot in mouth....unfortunately it is mine for sale, and it sold and is headed to switzerland. Just wish you guys would stop doubting the price of these and step into the real world. Thanks.

 

I don't think it would be a buddy with a phony bid that high. Let's say no one else bids, the seller would end up paying at least 10 % to Ebay, maybe more, so it would be a real gamble.

People are willing to pay whatever it takes to get something they want bad enough.

There is a guy here is So Cal names Paul Gommi that seems to have a few of those for sale at different times, and he apparently gets $10,000 for them .......

 

It was a no sale with 15 bids.

 

Maybe he will put it on a car with a 25 louver hood .

 

Hmmm, the seller say otherwise

 

It was listed a week ago and got 15 bids with a no sale at $9102, reserve not met, ending on 6-9-13. Then it got relisted and it ended today with a buyer

 

Made in Chicago, very close to where my daughter lives. Building still exists on Central Ave., And it still has Pines name on it!!

It's only worth what someone will pay for it. Apparently it's worth 9k+ to a guy in Switzerland. It is a very rare piece.

If I wasn't trying to get the Bonneville car together I would buy it, and hang that fucker on the wall of the shop!

 

A friend found one in the ORIGINAL box at the curb on metal trash day many years ago. It looks great on his 3Window. Bob

 

I was looking for 32 grills for the Tudor and I found this one.
Don't get me wrong...It's a killer Grill...&...I WANT ONE!
Like someone said it's worth what someone is willing to pay for it!
If I sell my car, add some dough, I could hang one on the wall too.

32rustedinpiece - It's a really nice piece! Glad you got good money for it!

....Winters Grill in Hawai?
Aloha T

 

Probably going on a car with no hood or side panels.

 

My brother sold one 15 years ago for $400 at a swap meet, didnt sell until the end of the day. The funny thing is that all the high dollar duece guys in the area just scoffed at it, ha! If my bro would have only hung it on the wall and forgot about it, lol....

 

i bought one for a 28-29 A. in real nice shape, even works. i think i paid about $100 for it. i thought that was alot.

 

Someone is making repops selling in the $3-4,000 range. I saw a sample at GNRS ... appears to very good quality.

I also saw one on a roadster at the LARS 2013. Winter front ... roadster ... California ... what's wrong with this picture ??

 

Congratulations,,I remember Deuce Roadster buying one at Hersey many years ago,,still in the wooden crate.

People thought he was nuts with what he paid for it. HRP

 

Well, you guys have mountains and snow, so it would be good for a car that gets driven.
