I have lost 5 of my vertical bars for my 1942 restoration. I sent them to California and the chrome shop sent me my grille and 6 of the verticals peeled when I was assembling the grille. Two months ago he had me send them back to his shop and now he will not even answer my calls.

If anybody has a parts grille I would love to buy the following counting from the passenger side.

Vertical bars 3, 5, 10, 11, 13, and 14.

I would also be in the market for a whole grille to fix today's problem and have a spare in case of an accident in the future.

There is a grille on eBay in Detroit and the seller will not ship. If anybody could help me by picking it up and taking it to Fedex or even UPS I would be thankful and even in a rewarding mood.

Hello Gary

Glad to read you are improving your Cadillac.

Please call me with instructions.  You own a LaSalle I would be happy to do it gratis.
All good men own a Cadillac but great gentlemen drive a LaSalle. That is the consequence of success.

I have to thank Chuck Patton.  I purchased a grille on eBay this morning at 6:30 and the seller would not ship.

Chuck had it at Fedex on the way to my place in Seattle around noon.

Thank You Chuck and all of the other members who have been helping me on this long but rewarding car restoration experience.
