    And it's taking more time than usual. Obviously, nobody knows for sure, and it does no good for any of us to guess, so no answer yet.
    I'd say 1934, but I can't figure out the make.

    I’ve no clue, but sure looks like it’s in great shape.

    Also looks like the nickel plating on my ‘32 Dodge PU grill. Not inferring it's a Dodge, but just mentioning it

  11. Well, if it isn't a Dodge, it should be!

  13. More importantly what is it going on. It looks good enough to front a great hot rod build.

  16. The good thing about building traditional hot rods is that you are free to use a cool part even if you have no idea what it came off of. I am inclined to say Hudson as others have.

    After looking last night and this evening at literally hundreds of photos of 1930-1935 Hudsons (as well Essex/Terraplanes), I'd say the grill is not one of those makes. See my post #5. If someone finds a Hudson (or Essex/Terraplane) match, post a photo.
    I've looked at the major makes, as well as Marmon, Reo, Graham, and other minor makes. Still looking. Enjoying the hunt and seeing lots of cool 30s cars.

    I also looked at all the makes I could think of for 1933 1934.
    Including Hudson.
    Nothin'.
    Almost looks like it was on a truck. If that's the case, it could be a little bit later than 1934. But the plating indicates high-end. Mascot doesn't look familiar. I think maybe it's not American made.

    This game is shit. I don't want to play any more. In fact, I didn't want to play in the first place.
    I guess that's an hour and a half of my life I won't be getting back...........

    Someone had better damn well have the answer to this.
