innovative 2nd use of the tailgate on the trailer. Ironically, the grill of the truck is useless

I dig this exploded view of the 1938 Olds grill, but I'll be damned if I'll waste 30 dollars paying someone on Ebay for the book just so I can post a good size nice resolution scan of it. So, I hope from this crummy little image, you can see why it's a cool drawing

 

1927 LaSalle grill design from patent to production. Harley Earl signed the Patent application, lower left of the drawing

Small and weird little grill

One old Fury

 That is likely the most reflected grill I've seen. The bumper has ribs and bounces the lines a lot.

 Looks like a hood ornament, on the trunk. I know, weird. The design for the reverse and brake lights leaves a lot to be desired to. Like one more pair of lights

This grill gets it.... the Hudson Terraplane hood ornament is not easy on the eyes... so this one has a Plymouth piece instead, and looks awesome
