Here’s an early slat grille for auction. These don’t appear often. At this point, the price is already $600 +. Someone had the cojones to offer only $100 for this (see the questions at the bottom of the auction page).
“Original TR-20 bolt stamped slat grill. Came off my 1941 MB (No glove box, script Willys) Only ever had one can. Great shape, no rust- some original wiring, clips and hood gasket left in place for type/period matching. One of the first 25,000 grills ever produced. Never restored, messed with, original OD paint underneath. Some minor bends (easily fixed), one slat loose at top. This grill is is really, really great shape if you want all original parts for your restoration. These do not come up for auction very often at all. I will not give it away, but reserve is appropriately low. A great chance for a rare and special part. Don’t miss out. I would rather see it go to someone who knows what this part really means!”
