So I dug this grill shell out of an old trash heap and I was curious to what it might be. I've done plenty of searching through google images of every mid-to late 20s car manufacturer I can think of, but I'm still stumped. It looks similar to early aurburns, pontiacs, packards, or willys', but still no perfect match.... Any ideas? Found in central Alberta, Canada
It really does remind me of a Pontiac shell, but also Whippet...so I started by googling Essex, Nash, Studebaker, Willys...all cars that seem to turn up frequently in western Canada. I think you have yourself a '27-ish Falcon Knight grille shell! Apparently Falcon Knight was taken over by Willys-Overland. Info: http://www.american-automobiles.com/Falcon-Knight.html
^Yup. Probably not too many of those around either. Let me know if there's a headlamp lens in that dumpster, I need one to make pair. With the WK logo and large "Monogram" logo like pictured above.
There it is! Never heard of Falcon Knight before. Thanks a bunch for the info! Now I'm off to try and find the rest of the car.
Falcon-knight,bummer that blew my segue eluding to the old Devo song Whippet good. What the heck,it's in my head now. HRP
