Not to be confused with the billet grilles that took off in the ’80s, bullet grille treatments were a hot modification trend in the late ’50s. So hot, in fact, that Car Craft magazine put a custom ’55 Chevy with a close-up of its sparkling bullet grille on the cover of its December 1959 issue.

The how-to story inside demonstrated how easy the pieces were to install, thanks to several bullet grille kits that had hit the market. California Custom Accessories in Los Angeles offered three different kits, with 24, 36 or 42 bullets, at prices ranging from $30 to $55. (The 36-piece kit was used for the Chevy featured in the story.)

The ’17 Ford Super Duty has dropped its heavy camouflage, in favor of a new body-hugging wrap, providing the most revealing look by far of Ford's new truck.

There appears to be some design influence from the latest ’15 model, namely in the headlights, taillights and the shapely tailgate design. The grille is camouflaged, but there appear to be signs of a very different grille design, with an air intake possibly slotted into the upper portion of the Super Duty's grille.

The Super Duty is expected to see massive weight savings, thanks to an aluminum-intensive design following the strategy applied to the F-150.
