Technical 1950 Oldsmobile headlight trim

What is this part called that goes under the headlight?
I’ve been searching for 1950 Olds headlight and nothing like that comes up for sale. Would be great if they were reproduced new but I’m just at least trying to find an old Olds set.

 

Maybe a vent, if they are open to allow outside air into heater or kick panel outlets? How about a parking lamp, or parking lamp molding, housing or bezel?

 

Well, I did find the parking lamp bezei. It’s a little separate piece in that photo, around the lamp lens. have not found the vent molding yet.

 

Now, I think they might be called the front fender grille ***embly.

but where to find one reproduction or used?

 

I would check with the Oldsmobile club, if I were you.
and the AACA/Oldsmobile forum. Nobody repops old Oldsmobile trim, so you can quit looking for that.. I snooped around eBay a little and didn't see anything.

 

I did stumble onto this one on the bay, just called parking lamp It’s an old NOS aftermarket part. Back then, they didn’t make aftermarket stuff exactly like the originals. This might be one of one. I say don’t buy it. I’d like to find an old pitted set, I have this idea to adapt them to the front of my 49 Ford. I’m gonna do something different with the grill, but they still might be too big. I think I could fabricate something that gives that look but would fit in the space like I want.

 

Good idea. Thanks they seem to have everything.
