I have a 32 grill shell made of steel and painted green along with the insert. Am I correct in assuming that this is a commercial piece that was used on a 33 and and not a 32 ? Thought i heard something about commercial vehicles using the previous years grill shell.
Thanks

Is that the identical radiator shell to the 32 passenger ? Another words, could that be chromed and used on a passenger car ??

When Experi-Metal was in business they used steel for their radiator shells. Bowtie Reproductions I believe got some of them and was selling the 32 Chevy steel chromed shells both for hot rods and original style.
