50 -53 Willys Grill Assy

[jw1954wagon]

Asking for someone else, this appears to be a 50-53 Grill for Wagon or Truck possibly. They are interested in selling. How rare is this and what is a good value in the market today? I havent seen a lot of 5 bars out there. It doesn't have any rot and really needs a good home vs hanging on the wall.

I think it is a 50 1/2 to 52, Willys went to the 3 bar grille for the 53 model year. That said it looks pretty good aside from some surface rust on the bar. Would fit up to 56 with no problem and would work on 57 to 64 if you don't use the fresh air heater.

Grills are probably $150-$250 range.

I found atleast 6 on FB on the first page with lots more if I expand the area. But the right buyer is out there.

The later ones with the fresh air hole are more common around me.

The really nice ones are around $500, here an example off FB, (not mine)

I think the 3 bar grille came out in 54. Anyway, it looks like it came off of 6 cyl. The shroud isn't long enough for 4cyl. That would be 148 or a 161.
