Howdy, does anyone know anything about the two holes in the middle bar of the 1939 Deluxe grill, half way up in line with the trim clip holes? I have used all the holes to replace the trim on my grill but there are tow holes either side of the middle bar where the latch is that I don't remember what they were used for! If at all! I have attached photos of the grill that show the holes I refer to! I look forward to any help I can get! Thanks. Cheers, John

I suspect they are for mounting the die cast, chrome plated trim known as "cat whiskers". Bob Drake shows them on page 35 of his new catalog as 91A-8266/7B, $60 for the pair. His web site is www.bobdrake.com

John, I have three 39 Deluxe grilles, one is NOS Ford, the other two I removed from original 39 Deluxe models.I have not seen those holes that you point out on any 39 Deluxe grille. That does not mean that there were not any grilles made with those holes, but I dont see any use for them. Tom

Thanks for your reply supereal. The bolt holes I refer to are on the grill and I think the cat's whiskers you mention are on the hood, one each side. Cheers, John

Hello Tom/SC, I also have three extra grills and only the one I put back in the car has these holes in it! I suppose there was a reason they were put in there but I'm not sure by whom! I would like to know so I could leave them there or fill them in!! Cheers, john

I sent you a pm, but didn't hear back from you. I pulled my original grille for painting and took a quick photo which is attached...no holes on this one

Hello parrish, sorry I have bin flat out!! Thanks for the photo; it does look like someone has had a reason to drill holes in my grill but may be too late to fix now!! Cheers, John
