    Yes it is a 39 Deluxe and I’m with you on the Merc style grille. It’s my bet that someone custom made that grille, it looks great in that car

    Talked to the owner 2 years ago at the motel during the frog follies. Pretty sure he told me that he had hand made the grill himself. If he’s there again this year I’ll get his name and number.

    That is a nice looking grill. It looks like it would take a lot of skill and time to make. I really like how the hood flows into the grill. It is a much cleaner gap than most 39/40 hoods and grills fit.

    The owner and builder of the car who hand made the grill is Rich Ciarletta from Ohio. I’ll PM you his contact info
