I would like to get the optional front grille guard for my 46. Anyone recommend a good source? Thanks.

Steve, that grille guard is not reproduced. Your only options are swap meets or run want ads on this site or Fordbarn.You might also check e-bay.

Try the Fordbarn swap site; I found one for a friend there a year or two ago. Good luck

I was able to locate one at Baxter's Ford Parts. By-the-way, your 42 is absolutley beautiful!

Dad's '48 Convertible has a different looking grill guard: taller with knobs on top of the up-rights. I'm pretty sure they were not after-market. I wonder if they changed the design for '46-48? Out of curiosity, how much does a pair of guards generally run? No, these aren't for sale; I was just wondering.

47fordor, The V-8 Club's 41-48 book shows a list of accessories for these cars. In 46 they list a "bumper center guard" which I assume is the grille guard. In 47-48 there is no listing for a "bumper center guard" nor is there a listing for a grille guard. The 47-48 bumpers had a different shape than the 46 and the 47-48 bumper guards were quite different from the 46 guards.
