The one thing I've never loved about my P15 is the grille.
When I disassembled it I looked all over for "Tonka" logos. It's a wart on a lovely design,and not because of it's basic artistic design, but because the manufacture is so obviously cheap.
Then I took a good look at the grille of every other typical '47 car. Only two look better to me, & that's DeSoto & Cadillac.
I thought I'd like the Canadian grille on mine (Plydo style ) but I really like it less than the P15 grille, if from an asthetic point.
From a practical standpoint it's probably much sturdier and a better grille, as is the US style Dodge grille.
Anyhow I've always thought the stamped tin look of the P15 grille was designed to look cheap on purpose, just to make status-conscious people buy a more expensive Dodge. It's the only thing I've truly and honestly disliked about a car that, in nearly stock form, repeatedly earned my respect as a well built and well engineered car.
That grille is the main thing I wish to customize on Edith d' Plymouth, rather than merely mend. But evidently it's a difficult feat to pull off. I've never seen a custom P15 grille that I really liked so far.
