    Hoping to get a positive ID on this. These look like Dodge wings. However, I can't determine for sure or what year, or even where they go. My first thought was the radiator but after looking for a little bit, I don't see them in any pictures. received_1838179176652505.jpeg

    They're Motometer wings. Check out Google..there's scads of them under that search. The wings are for the radiator cap...its a fairly common decorative thing a****st some circles..not so much here.

    That's a cool set of wings, take a picture of the back side to see if there any casting marks on it. As just now noted, it for sure is from a motometer radiator cap.
    Thanks for posting .

    I'll see if I can get some. It's in a parts lot I'm looking at for my 34 Dodge. I knew they weren't for that but because they look so much like the Dodge wings it confused me.
     
  5. With the sheer size of those wings mounted above the radiator, that when top vehicle speed was reached, just think of all that downward push on the front end of the vehicle ! That downward force had to add greatly to front end steering stability and braking. :D
    Yes, it must have of been a Dodge add on performance item, back in the day. ;)
     
  6. Yep, radiator
