There is nothing unusual about this Grille.
It is of an Early Production 1938 Ford Standard before Ford added the full length Chrome Strip to replace the Pin Stripe.
They also added 8 chrome strips to each side of the Grille.
This picture is of an early production 1938 Ford Standard Tudor Sedan.

I'll bet the little kid was sad because he didn't get a ride in that GR8 old Ford .....

Thats' a New Zealand photo and would date to early/mid 1938 going by the rego plate.

Yeah, the grille on the '38 Standard was so much more appealing than that on the '38 Deluxe...
