Red face Newbie with a 54 Grill

Greetings folks. Thank you for allowing me to join.
I dont have an olds, but I do have a 54 Olds Grill. Sounds odd right?
I'm actually building a 50 Merc and the Olds grill is my centerpiece.
I've been everywhere looking, begging and hunting trying to find an " O" letter.

If anyone could help direct me or help me find one I'd be most greatful.

Greetings from Canada,
Led Fred

If you are looking for a letter on the grill bar you don't have a 54 grill. You have a 55. The Oldsmobile on the 54 was on the hood and on the 55 it was on the grill bar. If you are putting this in a 50 Merc, why would you want Oldsmobile on the grill? Just curious.

Thank you sir, you're right.
Life is short and we all need a laugh. I'm wanting to have a little fun by mixing the letters to read, " MELLO SOB " Law of averages, teh grill i bought is short a couple letters.

And sir, thank you for your service.
