I did a Google image search for a four pointed star and this popped up. Does anyone know what vehicle it came from? -Thanks!
must be GM I say that only because I have one from a later 40s chevy car grille, supposed to fit in the center somewhere?, but the two shorter spikes are not used on Chevy. The rest is identical.
I could imagine this being possibly an accessory that goes on a skirt. Or maybe some part of a grille like you said F&J.
Found another one on eBay and apparently it's from a 50's Ford 6 cylinder truck. It doesn't specify what year so I asked the seller and hopefully he can provide an answer.

it does look like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/1955-FORD-TRUCK-STAR-EMBLEM-BADGE-GRILLE-HOOD-ORNAMENT/310679961869?rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222002%26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D163%26meid%3D41670376455454519%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D1088%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D261234773683%26#ht_1862wt_917
Yup, that's it. I'm trying to find some stars to mold into my '58 Chevy fleet side's bed. Kinda like the stars on a '58 Impala cruiser skirts. But those are too small for what I'm thinking of so I need something a little bigger in diameter. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
Not Pontiac. As has been mentioned already, 1955 F100 6 cylinder. Google it. Here's one on eBay right now, connected to the truck http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford...Cars_Trucks&hash=item41751614f4&vxp=mtr#v4-52
OK, here is a picture of a 1955 F100 with 6 cylinder. See the star? <a href="http://s3.photobucket.com/user/nomadboy/media/1955Fordf1006cyl_zpsa9a8a3a0.jpg.html" target="_blank"></a> They are reproduced and can be had from several vendors for $52.50, such as Early Ford Store of California and Carolina Cl***ics, as can be seen in the link below http://www.carolina-cl***ics.com/Details.cfm?ProdID=763&category=0 And here is the image of one from Mac's catalog <a href="http://s3.photobucket.com/user/nomadboy/media/1955Fordgrillestar_zps251dcb6e.jpg.html" target="_blank"></a> In '53, the 6 cylinder star was 3-pointed. In '54 it had 4 points but lacked the rounded center. The star in question was '55 only.
This is what I'm trying to do more or less and they would be molded in the bed too. I know they're too high but I figure those stars would fill that area better than the smaller skirt accessory stars.
'57-'58 Pontiac stars look like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-1957-19...Parts_Accessories&hash=item27d47314b1&vxp=mtr And these were used '55, '56 and early '57 http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-1955-19...Parts_Accessories&hash=item27d529ffc8&vxp=mtr
