Now THAT is nice !
It does the job without calling a lot of attention, and appearing 'over-dressed'.

I think Toms reply smacked the nail on the head real good, I have one on my 31 roadster and looks soooo good!!

A fellow club member has made a stone guard out of steel mesh which sits between the radiator and its shell. Painted matt black, it is hard to distinguish from a naked radiator from more than ten feet away.
My MGB has a similar set-up, but that is under the hood and invisible unless I run you over.
I have put the like on my Model A want list that I will get to after finishing this year's must list. The Chevy will get one also so that it does not feel left out.

As a kid in the late fifties and sixties, I would not allow myself to like chrome (unless it was on an engine) We nosed em' and decked em' as fast as we got them. Chrome sucked! Now I find myself sorta liking what it can do for a plain Jane automobile. I like stone guards just like I liked the chrome lifting rings, Ivalite spotlight, hatch cover hardware, and windshield stanchions etc on a mahogany speedboat. It looks clean and cool. You can appreciate the mechanicalness of it all.

Very difficult in a coupe.I think a stone guards "make a Model A look like a whorehouse on wheels" to quote a recent reply on a different thread.
