Can you educate me about the differences between the '39 and the '40 grill? I'm learning while doing here, thanks.

The 40 model grill has less bars in the grill because of a wider trim piece on top , The 39 is basically all bars right up to the top .

Ah yes, thanks. Now that I know what to look for I see the difference.

'39 on the left, '40 on the right:

This 39 Chev is owned by one of my best mates and he was to travel with us on the now postponed "Back to the Track" trip in a 1946 Chev truck.

The hearse behind is also his and is a Propert bodied 1938 Chev.
