Unusual hood trim

[Pomeroy41144]

This was on Ford Barn.

Has anybody seen a modern example of a 1936 Ford sporting this unusual (ugly) trim on the hood sides?

This still is from a movie titled "Call Out the Marines".

Macs using Safari show blue squares with a question mark in it

Firefox just shows a blank area

the red x must be a PC thing ... how can you people live like that?

anyway, right clicking on the blue box gives me this address:

So I have no idea of where you got the picture location

BUT going to Ford Barn I was able to find what I think you are referring to:

Aftermarket Pines (I think) hood trim

It's a dreaded life, living with those pesky red X's. Can't tell you of the nightmare's. It seems whenever I have a bunch saved-up, some little yellow circle with an enormous mouth comes and gobbles them up.

They look to me like an accessory that was available when the car was new. Have seen them in pictures taken in California. There was a company that made all kinds of dress up accessories from the 30s thru the 50s but don't remember the name.

Yes, it is called Pines trim, only for '36 Fords, inspired no doubt by the 810-812 Cord. Likely made by the same aftermarket company that made the metal "Pines Winterfront" radiator covers. I kinda like them.

[Pomeroy41144]

Yep, those are the ones. Jim, Thanks for posting them.

The two images I had tried to post were of a 1936 Roadster and 1936 Cabriolet with the trim seen on the car photo posted by Jim.

Thanks to all for the information.
