Joe, the strip was either added by a previous owner or else you've got an original 1947, ’48 or '49
grill, which did have cream medium stripping on the front bar.
Is the back bar painted the same color as the front bar, that is, body color? Or, is the back
bar painted Thistle Gray and the front bar body color? The later would have been the
stock grill.
