johns50 Shade Tree Mechanic Registered: 04/29/09 Posts: 44 Loc: montana,usa	On page 14 in the current January issue of G&D is a picture of Louis Zastrow's 49 Convertible. On the ends of the grill are stainless pieces which I have never seen. Are these factory accessories just for a 49? Beautiful car and my favorite issue of G&D yet as I think 49-50 Chevys(especially Fleetlines) are best.

brewster Registered: 11/05/07 Posts: 821 Loc: Ontario,Canada	I noticed a lot of the 49's in that article have the optional 1950 bumper wraps. Perhaps thats why I can't seem to find a set for my '50. We need to start hitting these guys harder on the judging forms so they are more inclined to sell them!! _________________________ Those accustomed to the finest...find it in Chevrolet. 1951 2dr Deluxe Sedan 1950 Deluxe Convertible
