    The radiator shell is from a 1920's Willys Knight. Whilst similar to the Packard the Willys shell has an extra "bump" in the centre of the shell where the radiator neck protrudes. As seen in the pick above the persons boot. I found pics in the American Car Spotters Guide 1920-39. Sadly I have no scanner at present to be able to attach a pic.

  9. Yeah, for the most part it's screwed.
    I've got a bit of a yard art project that I was gonna use it on, after I straighten it out a bit.
    It was at a swap meet, the guy paid me $5 to take it away, he was sick of dragging it around.
    Both the Packard & the Willys look almost the same to me.
    The Willys badge gives it away. or at least the hole where the badge used to be.
    Thanks guys, I knew this was a question for the HAMB folk.
