Some sellers on EBay seem to think that they can throw a couple of pictures of women in with the junk they are peddling and it will sell. Sad thing is, sometimes it works! Jim

(sigh) Another clueless ebay seller...there were no F150's until 1975.

The so-called "Custom" T-Bird grille isn't. It's a stock 1960 Thunderbird 2 piece grille (outer 'stars' bolt to the inner mesh) and front bumper...which includes the bumper guards & parking lamp assy's.
