History do you know what this grille is?

this grill came with the '36 ford truck i bought. i just would like to know what kind of car it came off. i believe its late 20's ford? anyone know?

 

Nope, not late 20s ford.

 

Whippet??

 

Whippet Good.

 

foreman?

 

Henway or Duckwill?

 

I know its not the henway 64 dodge, but what's a duckwill?

 

.

Looks similar to whippet but not 100% convinced.
The whippet line of cars was more or less a small/downsized alternative to the Willy's.
In that respect, whippet shells are fairly small when compared to others of the day.
I don't have the measurements handy but the 26 whippet shell I have is wider at the bottom than the top and is nicely rounded, all in a nice compact size.

A guy might have luck looking thru carnut's pics:

That's funny!!

 

late 20's Essex maybe...

 

Old toolmaker I worked with back in the '80s used to say "a duck will walk a mile to crap on concrete".

 

Not Essex. Interesting shell, though!
