I have not had any luck online. The front has a clear plastic (Lucite?) Lens attached by 2 screws.

Curti Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I don't think it was used on a production American car. It is not Chevrolet of any year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Dean Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 … Did an online search for 1957 Pontiac photos and sure enough there it be. Nowadays its hard to envision something this heavy and ornate being used as a ‘frt Fender Ornament’. Thanks to all that helped here, my friend Doug is pleased to now know its application.
