Ultra Rare 1950's Nos 46 47 48 Ford Custom Grille Rat Hot Street Rod Coupe Sedan on 2040-parts.com
Brownwood, Texas, US
This auction is for a Ultra Rare aftermarket Grille for a 46-48 Ford. Could be used on '42 if you use a 46-48 hood and upper grille bar. This is a NOS grille. From what I can tell this was the type grille used in the movie GREASE. This grille was introduced in the mid to late 1950's. They were sold through J.C. Whitney and others. I included a couple of photos of a late 50's catalog and the page the grille is advertised on. This book IS NOT included in the auction. I purchased the grille a few years back. My plan was to turn my coupe into a 50's era hot rod. Car not currenty operational. I bolted the grille in my car where it has sat for the past few years in my garage. I've decide to go a different route and have decided to let the grille go to someone who will enjoy it. I included a picture of the grille in my car for reference (car not included in the auction). I searched for years and have only seen 4 of these. One was in a car for sale some years back that was built in the 50's. One was rusted and twisted beyond repair and the other got away. This is the only one I've seen in person. Extremly rare period correct item. Shows real nice with only very minor shelf ware. When installed in my car I used stainless bolts and will include them in the auction. Grille even had the 2 small spacers need for installation also included. Auction is for the (2) grille panels, (2) small spacers, and bolts only. Really rare item so don't let it get away. You will have the only one like it at any show.

Chevrolet reveals more details of Camaro ZL1
Fri, 09 Sep 2011The 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 will not be anywhere near as rare as its 1969 namesake when it arrives during the first quarter of next year, but the most powerful production Camaro to date should deliver performance easily worthy of its model designation. Camaro engineers on Thursday offered media members a preview of the upcoming Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 fighter, and the tale of the tape is impressive, especially in terms of grunt. The 6.2-liter supercharged LSA V8 will make 580 hp at 6,000 rpm and 556 lb-ft of torque at 4,200 rpm, besting Chevy's original targets for the engine's output and bettering its efficiency in the Cadillac CTS-V by 24 hp and 5 lb-ft.
