Has anyone ever seen a Super Sport with a square grill? Supposedly for racing?

There are Super Sports and hotshots out there with a number of different grill styles. Of course all were after factory add ons. If you look on collectorcartraderonline.com you will see one listed.

Several companies made these after market grills including Braje. Jim...

There are some pictures of a Hotshot in the San Diego Automotive Museum with a nice grill on the front.  Does anyone know if this grill was official Crosley, such as the car being a prototype? Here is a link.

The grill in the photo is a Braje grill--I have one in my SS---

Looks like the popular after market grill that Braje sold for $24.95. Since the engine is heavily dressed up with other Braje parts it fits.  I especially like the alternator that was added to the engine.

The VC models never had a factory grill, and it wasn't needed if the air scoop and radiator side cardboards are in place.
