Art & Inspiration Stump the HAMB - Grille ID

I got this cool little grille in a box of random parts. The box had some Jeepster trim, and some Mack truck emblems...not sure if they are related or not. Google search turned up nothing on the part number. First thought was Austin Healey, but not quite. What do you think?

 

Looks like a drip pan with something in it.

 

Wrong. It’s the top of my trash can...but thanks for playing.

 

Looks like the hood grille from one of those little Amphicar amphibious cars, but it may be too big. JW

 

Amphicars don’t have grilles, just louvers in the trunk.

 

Almost looks like the baby T-bird hood grille, but again, not quite.

 

It’s a dodge product

 

I don't think it's a grille.. Looks like the front part of a hood scoop...

 

1950 Allard ??

 

Front grill part of a long nose PETERBUILT

 

My guess is Nash Healy hood scoop, although this looks like it may be wider.

I guess Nash of some type

 

I thought Allard as well.

 

Ok. I enlarged the logo after the part number. Does that help anyone?

 

Soda blast it and build a car around it......

 

It’s going on a car...somewhere.

 

I guess nash too.

 

I think we have a winner. I was in the right neighborhood with the Austin/Jensen/Nash Healey. Thanks!

 

Are you shipping me the rest of the car to put it on? That whole Nash should fit in a small flat rate box.

 

Not Nash, but Hudson Metropolitan

Oh, and those little ****ers are EXPENSIVE!!! Throw it on Ebay and you'll sell it fast.

 

Looks like it was used on both Nash and Hudson Metros.

 

What model Willys?

 

Didn't know that Nash used them too- thought it was only Hudson. Still, they are extremely hard to find.

 

Nash Metropolitan. HRP

 

Shoot, mine looks better than that one.

 

I’ll find a spot for it on the roadster pickup project...somewhere. Unless someone needs it more than me. I guess everything has a price.

 

Huh, they were going for $200-$300 a while back... guess not n'more

 

Must have been before they started reproducing them.

Too bad I only got the G-rated half of that combo...not the PG rated part.
