    Looks like a late '20's Oldsmobile shell, with a winter attachment...moveable vertical slats to control the amount of air flow to the radiator.

    Looks to me like its an Es*** '27-'31. They used the same style grill those years but some are taller than others. Those are functioning shutters on there.

    Looks like Es*** to me too.I spent some time trying to identify my Es*** grille shell and this looks very similar to some i saw pictured for Es*** cars. I've since identified mine as a 1927 Es*** truck thanks to a fellow hamber.
