This is an NOS part probably from the late 50s to early 60s. Can anyone tell me what vehicle it goes on? I think it is a hood ornament insert.Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

I've been in and/or driven virtually every American car built since 1927 up to the late 70s. I've NEVER seen anything like your part. Couldn't be for the exterior - it would craze too easily. Maybe it's an air director for the rear package shelf on some car - looks like a scoop and seems to have a windsplit in the middle and an exit at the rear. I am stumped.

Hey Speedy, My first thought was a traffic light viewer lens. Maybe hood mounted in a frame? But I don't have a clue what it fits. If you can get some of the regular guys on the TRIVIA thread to hunt for you, I'll bet they will figure it out. olnolan

It is a hood ornament insert for a Kaiser Manhattan or traveler about 52 to 55.Anybody got pics?

You ain't gonna believe it, but I was poking around goggle and found this, when I started to post it, you had already found it. Here is one image, there are more. '52 Kaiser Corsair I think. Henry J ?
