Re: [FWDLK] An odd grille sighting?

[Dave Casey <dcasey@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My '57 Savoy has the early grille. I'm not sure of the build date. Its a 301 powerflite 4dr sedan. I'll have to check for the Mayflower on the cluster. It has manual steering with the common '57 wheel (the one with that huge horn ring with the forward look logo on it).

My early production '57 Savoy has the early grille, also has the '56 style steering wheel, and the instrument cluster that doesn't have the Mayflower ship on it.  My Savoy was made in August of '56.  With the steering wheel, it is my understanding that they used up the '56 style steering wheels on the cheaper models before using the '57 style ones. . . anyone else heard of this?  This car is also the only actual '57 (outside of brochures and advertising) that I've ever seen with the early lower grille.  Anyone else have one?

That lower 57 grille is very early production only.  It is not a mid-year change. It was a running change.
