**Just picked up a 1934 Ford Pines Winterfront Grille and have some questions??**

Hey guys, well I just picked up an original 1934 Ford Pines Winterfront grille for my coupe. My first question is, how in the hell do you install it? Has anybody ever seen one mounted in a car, or an old picture of one mounted in a car? It looks like you remove the center grille bars and mount it inside just like a 1932 pines winter front grille. I am not sure. What do you guys think?

 

Mine is `32 but i believe the big difference besides the obvious shape is that it mounts on the outside of the stock grillbars, this is just based on what i`ve read elsewhere as i`ve never had a 33-34 pines myself. Does that seem correct?

 

Those are sooo ugly. And not in a "so ugly it's cool" sort of way.

 

Reminds of a Citroen B11

 

Haha we will see how it looks when we finally figure out how to mount it!

 

It looks like it slips over the stock shell IMO.

 

It might seem like it, but it's the size of the grille insert bars.

 

mike, mike, mike...one question...why?

 

I dont know really, to be different I guess. Never seen one ever on a car.

 

why would a guy in Reno Nevada need a winterfront?

 

Have you seen how cold the winters get here???

 

There's a reason for that!! The original grill is so beautiful, why would anyone cover it up! Cool piece though Mike, I've never seen one before.

 

On a 32 it replaces the original grill. Would that do it?

 

Did you pay $9000 for it???????

 

Haha not even remotely close!

 

Well yes, I have an original 1932 pines winter front but a 1934 grille is one piece.....

 

I like it. Mock it up and let us see.

 

No help on mounting, but here's a funny thread on the Fordbarn.

I kinda like it. There's a blue deuce on here somewhere that has one (for a '32 obviously) and I think it looks slick.

Ya I think I'll like it too! I didn't buy that one but did watch it on eBay! The one I have is the second one iv seen, that being the first. I'll have to put it up right with the stock grill to show everybody what I mean.

 

ive had 3 of those over the years and they fit right over the existing shell. the one shot of it in front of the grille on a car, the grille looks like it may be a 33??hard to tell. the winterfront you have appears to be kinda small. it's not a y - model winterfront ,is it??

 

call randy spark he has one on his roadster

 

is that the one that was listed on evelbay , it was kinda like the movie , now you see , now you dont , you dont see many of them around thats for sure

 

It would be going on a 1934 grille. What is a y-model winter front?

 

English I'm guessing?

 

Look on google images for Y model 1934, I bet that is what it's for as well.

The only winterfront I thought looked cool was for the 36 ford.

 

I tried to stir things up by posting pics of Mikes 3W. Hopefully it worked...

 

chrome zip ties

 

Yep and a model Y is English and what the model 40 (allegedly) is based on, albeit a 3/4 scale version !!!

 

Please post pictures! Thank you!
