Anyone know years and models for radiator emblems

[packerbacker]

I think these are all radiator emblems or other trim from older 1930's/1940's vehicles. I found a bunch of others I could identify pretty well but not these. The 3 Plymouth are either from different years or different models as they are all configured differently. Thanks in advance for any help.

Your 3rd Plymouth one was on the '36 model year, the first one is seen on '35 and '37 model years, so it's safe to assume that the Plymouth ones were used for a few years. Your second badge looks to be a Dodge dash badge (From the '49 and '50's) can't tell for sure, and as for your Cadillac one I can't figure out what year than one is, looks similar to the '30's era badges.

Thanks! Every little bit of information helps. Some I've found seem to be quite valuable, even in reconditioned condition. Most, not all, of the ones I found are in good, used condition. I'm working on putting them up on ebay or maybe even Craigslist.

We have some very "Car-Smart" members on this site, some of them would be able to tell you what year for sure on them....Heck some are so good they could probably tell you what color car it came off of....LOL!

That Cadillac logo was introduced in 1942 and phased out in 1953.

Didn't even think of that Daroofa! I kept looking for one that had the extra shield, which is similar to the 30's era ones with the large "V", didn't think of just the crown style.

If you can't get ID here try AACA web site. You have to jump thru the hoops to join up but they have a "what is it' orum there. Those guys are amazing. I got a 29' Packard radiator ID'ed there after 2500 looks there and another site. Good luck.

The middle one is off of a 1948-52 era Dodge Cornet. It was either the horn ring emblem or a door panel emblem, hard to tell the size from the pic. I have a couple of these cars in the junkyard, so i would have to compare it to know for sure. The Plymouth badges i would guess are mid to late thirty's grill emblems, judging by the enamel inlays and art-deco wing style. The Cadillac one i would say is probly from the 20's and looks to be made of brass. Nice finds! Joseph

Thanks guys, you're filling in the blanks. I'm attaching a pic of all I found plus one of a unknown year Packard. I thought it was about 1929 but it doesn't appear so anymore after a little more research.

Cadillac emblem was on 37 Fleetwood. Dodge is a 49 -50 cornet radio grille emblem. Plymouth 37 trucks and coupes.
All were used on other years and models also.

Packard is late 40s-mid 50s.
