Hot Rods Help identify this grille shell, please.

I'm sure this is mid 30s and it takes a grille insert, because the bolt holes are there.
backside above

 

1933 er 1934 Ford ????

 

Looks like 35 ish chevy

 

34 Chevy or 35 Chevy Standard.

 

yep!

 

It could also be a 34 Master. Would need a couple measurement to tell the difference from the 34-5 standard

 

Do you have the stainless steel insert that holds the grill material to the grill shell?. If you do then you really got something because i don't think they are repoped by anyone and most cars just have that piece made from painted fiberglass which is not near as cool looking as the stainless.

 

Where do I measure? I might as well get as close as I can.

Boy, do I have a lot to learn....

definetly 34 34 chev. I forget the measurments right now , but the master grill is a few inches taller than a standard grill. I want to say a master is 44 and standard is 41 . I will check tomorrow as I have o e of each in the loft

Standing up straight, the shell is about 36" tall.

 

Mid 30 MOPAR.

 

Hey Bean, that's where I started looking too. There were a lot of heart shaped grills from '33 to 36. I looked at Grahams, Hupmobile, Auburn and a lot of close but no cigar shells. When I checked back here and they said a 1935 Chevy I was flabergasted, but I believe they're right. I never noticed how pointy the bottom of the Chevy was.

 

I studied the pic and my shell doesn't curve as much. It's hard to tell for certain.

Chevy is more straight down the sides and then has the [33-34 ford] looking kickout on the bottom. Mopar is not as straight on the sides.

 

Not Mopar. Mopars (at least 33/34 Dodges have a roll at the bottom that fits the fenders. You can see it in the Dodge pictured above, the roll however is painted were the rest is chrome. It's all one piece, someone just painted out the roll. Not that I'm an expert, just happened to be repairing a 34 Dodge grill shell right now.

 

That's what I was thinking to Beaner. probably a '33 Plymouth because the '34 has the appron attached to it.
' 33 Plymouth

'34 Plymouth

 

It is 34 chevrolet
The only question is
If it is master or standard
The 34 standard shell will
also fit the 35 standard car

 

Good side shot; so that eliminates 33/34 Plymouth. Thanks for pix

The apron, now I recall trimming one when we pulled the fenders off an LA powered '33 that we pulled the fenders off of in the '90s.
