Hot Rods cowl vent I.D.

This cowl vent was installed on my 1930 coupe when I bought it. I cannot seem to be able to identify it. I am going to try to post a picture of it. this is the only picture I have right now and the car is 50 miles away in winter storage, so can't post any other pictures at this time. I was told that it was a 36 Ford cowl vent , but I compared it to the '36 coupe sitting next to mine in storage , and it is completely different. I am hoping some one on here may have an idea of what year and make it may have come from. any help would be appreciated.---Jim

 

The outside shape looks a lot like my 37 Nash..
Measures 16 1/8'' X 4'' at the widest width and depth..
The rear edge has a very slight V across it..
Here's a pic I stole off google images

 

Could be anything around that era, can you get some measurements; depth, width? Could be a GM, Ford or other product line? Try Steele Rubber when you're measured it and compare to different rubber dimensions of what they produce. It may work, this is my 35 Chevy as an example.

 

Measurements are close to '35 / '36 Ford (16" x 3-1/4'), and the ends on the '35 / '36 Ford are not "tapered" as yours, but are parallel to each other. Close, but no cigar, I guess - sorry.

 

Thanks for the help and your ideas fellows, I will try and get into town over the week-end and get some measurements and also some better pictures of the vent closed and open. I have got to try to get back on my roadster project , it has been sitting way to long ( almost 10 years ) I don't know where the time went.

 

Looks like nice workmanship on the part of whoever did it. Looks like they cut out the surrounding sheet metal from the donor car and welded it in nicely, made it look like it was born that way.

 

38fordpickup, yes the workmanship is excellent. the surrounding sheet metal was welded in.the only problem is all of the mechanism for opening and closing the vent are not there, and I will have to make my own unless I can find out where this thing originally came from. the car was originally built in your neck of the woods (state wise ) came out of the Savanna, Ga. area.. the main reason I am trying to I.D. this thing, is my brother and I are building another '30 coupe and we would like to copy this modification as close as possible in the new project. like I said I will try to post some other, better pictures over the week-end.
