For my money the Pines grille trim cluttered up a very nice clean looking grille.
The addition of a '40 LaSalle or Packard grille really looked good on a '36. I almost put a LaSalle grille on my '36 coupe in 1952/53, then thought better of the idea.
I seem to recall that "Pines" made a metal cover for the 36 Grille that reduced the grille size down to almost the size of the LaSalle grille.
Bluest that would be the “Pines Winter Front “ fits over the outside of grille to help keep engine up to temp in cold winter area’s. Manually opened & closed they also made one for the 36 that went in front of radiator behind grille operated with a cable. I have a NOS of both. I have added pic of outside winter from. My inside is still in original sealed box.
I have a NOS silver/cloth winter front in the trunk of my '36, it has never been on the car. Also have a set of Weed V-bar tire changes that have not been used since about 1955..
