Grille & Bar...circa 1955

Anyone have a driver quality (i.e. shiny but not necessarily perfect) grille bar for a '55? No letters or stanchions needed - just the bar, but would take if part of the package.

thanks

Dang! Ya got me. I saw this post and was lured into thinking it was about some cool watering hole styled after the 50's. I feel so used...

I have an extra '55 grill bar with letters, but someone painted the bar with silver paint. I have not tried to remove the paint to inspect the chrome, but I have to assume the previous owner painted it silver because the chrome was not in good shape. Let me know if you any interest.

yeah - that's the same boat I'm in - mine is painted "chrome". Have 2 other grille bars but they're victims of 50+ years on the east coast - just hoping to find something 'presentable' that has a glisten to it - a few pits or dents wouldn't bother me at all.

thanks for the reply and offer - love your car by the way!
