Thanks Don.. That's exactly what I am looking for. I found a guy that has a speaker, but most likely will have a hard time finding the grill.

If your car is a closed model, the speaker goes in the header above the windshield and is covered by headliner material, so the exactness of the grill isn't that critical.

I think it has been written that the early '36's had in some cases the '35 exposed spear encased within a housing that was attached to the windshield header panel. The factory allowed the dealers to use up their stock of parts before they had to transition to current accessories. If a person is trying to make their car into a period correct vehicle, then early accessories could be a must have item. As for myself, in over 60 years of fooling around with '36 and later Fords, I have never seen a factory Philco radio in a '36 with an externally mounted speaker except on the open cars, which had the speaker mounted to the radio box. The speaker in my '36 is concealed behind the upholstery covering the header panel.

If anyone is interested, I have the 1935 speaker enclosure that attaches to the header. The Service Bulletins show it on page 261,figure 370. It has a speaker in it, but not sure if it is correct. Tom

WMSTEED, While some closed car 35 radio chassis were used into early 36 production, none were used with the large exposed 35 speaker. A kit consisting of the smaller 36 concealed speaker, mounting hardware and a special transformer was used to make the 35 radio chassis compatable with the 36 speaker. KEN CT All 36 speakers had a protective grille on them even if covered in header cloth. The grille was there to protect the delicate speaker cone and paper.
