&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Another thought just occured to me in that I had an
early 1950 that was a source of parts only as the chassis was completely
stuffed. This vehicle had at some stage had the later type grill fitted
(upside down T mesh) and the rear body was the narrow transom type with
the later pressed badge on it. The front badge was cast as it should have
been. <br>
