victorialynn2 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) I believe this is a ‘38 based on information given to me. Good condition, no breaks. I have not tried to polish it up but can provide more pictures if requested. Best offer plus actual shipping cost from 97128. (Oregon). I would bubble wrap and double box this for secure shipping and will insure. Edited July 21, 2019 by victorialynn2 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C Carl Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Well , Excuse me please ! Looking very carefully , I have assumed the '38 was slightly wider than the '37. I still think I am right about that , but looking carefully , I think your grill is just very slightly wider than the known '37 I have shown above. Count the vertical rows on yours , and the pics I have provided. See if yours has an extra row or two. Now I am very curious. Oh yeah ! Oh most certainly ! Indeed I could be wrong. I am sure I am wrong about something every day. Assumed ! That is the problem. Assumptions have been the most costly mechanisms I operate on. I should never assume anything. - CC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victorialynn2 Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 I am going to try and find some clarifying dimentions. If anyone knows the difference between 37 & 38, please let me know. Pictures online sure look the same and I’m getting conflicting info. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Carl Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I will ask on the Cadillac & LaSalle Club forum for you. - CC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Carl Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 We just got proof that your grille is '38. If you have absolutely nothing better to do with your time , you could dispose of some of it fiddling around with polishing that grille. If you don't mind a little fatherly advice , I suggest you go do something else. From your other topic , it sounds like you will be up to your ears in car parts soon enough. You are one very hard worker. Take yourself a break. - Carl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victorialynn2 Posted July 6, 2019 Author Share Posted July 6, 2019 Hey guys. I didn’t sell this in the couple weeks before I left Tx and I have this in Oregon. I am raising money to fund final expenses for dad as he is not doing well. It is located in 97128 and if anyone is interested in it, please contact me. I could use some funds and I want this piece to find a good home. Just pm me what you think is a fair price. It is available for inspection and @JackM has seen it also. I have done no cleaning and it has both emblems. Sounds like it’s a ‘38 Grill. Thanks, vctoria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do remember him sanding the wood that goes around the windows at the kitchen table and my step mother having a fit though. 😂 So yes, I’d say it’s definitely a ‘38 and probably swapped from this Caddy. He restored this really well. The entire interior was redone and the paint was beautiful. It was burgundy and the interior was a neutral, period correct material. He had this back in the 70’s and must have sold it in the early to mid 2000’s. Edited July 21, 2019 by victorialynn2 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
