I just went through all the photographs I have on the 46 to 48 Connie and could not find one that had the engine side of the grill shown. Is there supposed to be a plate between the top of the grill (behind the hod release unit) and the radiator? I have three threaded holes on the rear of the panel that has the hood release latch on it. A photograph would be great! Thanks Harry

Yes, Mine is also missing--please advise if you know of any being produced.

This panel is supposed to direct the air through the radiator rather than over it. This is the closest I can come to a photo of it. I have one for my '47 Continental and I will try to get a photo of it asap.

Thanks Phil That means that is another piece that is missing and will join the ever growing list of needed parts that I am sending out to folks. But all in all I am still satisfied with the trade. Harry
