Art & Inspiration Stump the HAMB - Grille ID

Nash Metropolitan. HRP

 

What are you going to use it for?

 

Shoot, mine looks better than that one.

 

I’ll find a spot for it on the roadster pickup project...somewhere. Unless someone needs it more than me. I guess everything has a price.

 

Huh, they were going for $200-$300 a while back... guess not n'more

 

Must have been before they started reproducing them.

 

Shown here with the optional flying lady hood ornament.

 

Too bad I only got the G-rated half of that combo...not the PG rated part.

 

The funny thing is that they put a (non-functioning) hood scoop on a Metropolitan.

 

NO NO NO!!!!

 

So much for stumping the HAMB

 

I really thought it was off of a Henwey!

 

I'm gonna take nash metropolitan Alex. Am i late to the party

 

Henwey? What's a henwey??? (You're welcome)

 

I already cross referenced the part number...and it definitely does not fit a Henway. It might still fit a Dickfer, however.

 

Man, this quarantine stuff has a lot of us going off the deep end. And, nope, I'm not asking what a _______ is!

 

Glad you asked...What’s a Dickfer? To pee with.

 

Yep, that's right where I'm going. My coffee is on its way.

 

Plenty of cars have nonfunctional hood scoops. IIRC Nash added the bulge to the Met hood to get more clearance over the tall (relatively) Austin engine

 

Yep, Falcons have scoop-looking hood bulges.

 

I played around with the idea of opening the scoop on one of mine, but the way Ford engineered the mounting stymied me.
