    Hey there Hambers. I re-found this thing in my garage and was wondering what it fits?? I've seen similiar ones on Fords at car shows but never an exact match, so i figured i'd try and ask the experts!

    The similar ones you see on Fords were aftermarket made for 1946-48 Fords, not original....
