sandtrooper Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Howdy and Happy New Year. A few more auto parts could use a few descriptive words. Hipshots fine.1. H V8 in triangle2. Olde English 'A' in shield3. sideways V 84. Rocket hood ornament5. Brass cap6. Gas capNot sure if no.5 is a wheel or radiator cap. 1. Hudson?Oh well...hope I am not being too greedy here. Maybe it might be better to hire someone who can ID old automotive things for maybe some profit. There will be a boatload a comin. Scutcheons, head lamps, tail lights, brackets, horns, bulbs pumps, gadgets and gismos galore. over and out. mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bob Call Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 The sideways V8 was used on the 1937 Fords on the hood side panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 The shield with the "A" is an aftermarket radiator cap monogram. The "high compression gas" cap is for a 1929 Chrysler, I believe. The external threaded cap looks to be a Model T accessory radiator cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poci1957 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Wow, challenging stuff for us, will look forward to more.I have no photo to prove it but the H8 makes me think Hupmobile late 1920s/early 1930s.That V8 emblem does not look 1937 Ford to me, I wonder if maybe early 1950s Mopar?When you post more give us a photo of the backside too, Todd C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) The "H8" in the triangle looks more like a Hudson style emblem. Sort of along these lines... Edited January 2, 2012 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave@Moon Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 The rocket hood ornament is from a 1939 Chevy Master series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 When you made the offer, my hand shot up into the air, but you probably did not see it. I would LOVE to get paid to identify stuff. I have been wishing to find a way to get paid to do that. Maybe I can help. Email me and we can discuss it.keiser31@charter.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave@Moon Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 The "H 8" emblem is definitely Hudson, but I don't know what year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 The laid down V8 on the 37 ford IS different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon37 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) The H-8 is from a 1936 Hudson Eight. (The "V" is actually a triangle, Hudson's logo, not a "V". Hudson used a straight eight at the time.) Edited January 3, 2012 by Jon37 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
