Wow, when I was growing up in the 50s we had a neighbor that had one from the mid 40s. I thought that one was old.

I'd absolutely roll a nice resto-mod Suburban (from any of the early generations). Modern reliability with that old style...

While I did drill holes in my fiberglass flip front for cooling, I much prefer the look of the stock '37 grille. In fact, I already purchased an original one to install at a later date...

Love that 37 Burb though....

I'm impressed with how evenly your speed holes are always spaced.

You must have decades of practice.
