History Is this an OEM or custom grille?

If it's not custom what car is it from?

 

Maybe Caddy or Packard ?

 

48 Cadillac

 

Late '40s Cadillac. '48 I think.

Here's a '48.

 

Perfect. Thanks guys.

 

BTW,Nice car u have mate!

 

Neither of them are mine. Just inspiration.
Thanks though.

 

Those were a popular swap in that model of Ford back when there were lots of both around. One of those "custom changes" that is an improvement rather than just a change for the sake of change.

 

It's a real nice touch.
I'm thinking of a way to incorporate a 47 Caddy grille in my 46 Pontiac.

 

That purple car is ''killer'' but looze those caps, Gaz!
