might have been a paddy wagon https://www.catspawdynamics.com/the-1946-chevrolet-suburban-calgary-police-paddy-wagon/
Do you happen to have a link to the site?
I think that might be it! the other variation doesnt have a vertical part in the centerpiece. [ATTACH]
I'd probably start by posting to every tri 5 group/message board on the internet, then its going to every swap meet possible. It looks like a...
You may be right, its really hard to be certain based on the quality of the pics. But I personally feel really really good that this is it. Like...
Done. [ATTACH]
You and me both! Has to be it. [ATTACH]
Maybe a modified VW Vakaro kit that went seriously wrong? [IMG] [IMG]\ [IMG]
[IMG] That's it right? The answer was here all along: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/vintage-jc-whitney-car-accessories.1103184/
Then it would have to be one piece I would think, I have kind of been thinking the spears have been separate. Maybe the spears could go over the...
The folks at the AACA forum thought it was aftermarket. If that center piece is 3 inches, eyeballing it makes the spears 9" which puts us at 21"....
True, but I don't think this particular one is the 55 Buick one. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] 55 Buick [IMG]
This is really close I think. If the center piece was redone...maybe? Saw it on this forum, they think its aftermarket....
I wonder what the mounting holes in the grill look like. I would think if it was 1 piece there would be two in the center piece and on at each...
Maybe a 58 Rambler and he popped the center out and made his own? This still bugs me too, I can't look at a car pic without checking to see if it...
Maybe you could try the author of this article, its pretty recent and he might be able to tell you who to speak with:...
a bit more history on this .... https://www.motoringnz.com/views/2020/4/20/pomeroy-treading-lightly-in-the-1920s
The thing that makes me think it is related to the one in the HF Museum is the body line that runs diagonally across the hood. Seems fairly...
Here are a few more pics of the one in the Henry Ford Museum. Very close, but that front roofline is different. The one in the museum comes out...

My guess is he made it from some trim and a center ring he liked, thus the pulled from the junkyard comment. Just not many emblems where the...
lol! Do you have any idea how deep into the bowels of the internet I had to search to pull out a Zunder??
maybe something off a carnival car/bumper car/autopia car? Below isnt it obviously, but its in the ballpark. [IMG]
it's a top 5 fugly car, but that front emblem is the closest damn thing i have seen.
dont have time to look for a better pic right now, but try googling Zunder 1500 [IMG]
Barn Hunter, do you think maybe its custom? Like a center ring with a new insert and spears added? I have still been googling but just can't...
Here is the hubcap on Ebay - it has a few more pics and of course every pic except spinner removed. Definitely the closest styling wise, but...
Here is a better photo if someone can figure it by scaling it. [IMG]
Blowing up the pic, I am not so sure its one piece. Really hard to say because of the pic quality. To me it looks like a center piece and then...
it has a 55/56/57 pontiac/olds/buick feel to it but there just isn't a match [IMG]
