My wife made the mistake of letting it slip at her workplace that I buy & sell on eBay. Her boss owns a few self storage places, and when someone falls behind on payments, he keeps the goods. So he sent this home with Linds today, hoping I can figure out just what it is, and what it is worth. I would imagine it is am aftermarket part aimed at Hot Rodders. It has a price tag still attached with $225 on it, but theres no way of knowing if the guy bought it for, or was trying to sell it for that. I'm pretty sure it's from a 32 or so Ford Truck, but have no idea what the technical term for it is. Grill Shroud? Radiator Shroud/Cover? Front Clip? I don't know! Can any of you car nuts out there help me out? I don't mind doing the leg work, I just need to know what it is I'm looking for. Thanks in advance.

The more I look at it I feel like telling him it's worthless and keeping it for myself. I think it make a kickass frame for a some pinstripe art.

It goes over the front grill I think it's called a "grill shell" http://www.airbum.com/NeatShtpix/RoadsterGrill.html
.. here's what looks like the same thing on a 32 ford p/u

hope that helps :)
