Does anyone know what year, is it a Chevy Car or Truck Grille and how much it is worth?
We found this in our son's storage unit. He loved old cars and parts.
Thanks

Looks like part of a front grille for a 1953 Chev car.

Looks like a 53 car grill. As for value??????? I have no idea if repops are available and what they cost if they are. If quality repops aren't available it's probably worth a few hundred in that condition. If someone needs one real bad it could be significantly more.

It is a 1953 grille with the three spinners removed. Also the chrome had been removed and down to the brass plating. In 1953 hhere was NO NICKEL OVER THE BRASS PLATING AND THE CHROME Was applied to the brass and the chrome covered with clear Lacquer.......know as KOREAN chome.
the wa no nickel p;ate uder the chrome plate due to the Krean war.

There were no after market grilles produced.
