Regardless of make...it would be a great candidate centerpiece grille for someone building a late 20's to early 30's Rod. Either plated or painted, flanked by a couple of pod headlights...that thing would be great. Hope it finds a home with a talented builder.John Clary

Never did the provenance on it, but it looks nothing like the OP pic.

Here's what I think it might be...'33 Hudson. Cool piece. To the right person it's priceless. Good luck finding 'that person'.

Jeff; That is not a Studebaker either. At least the grille isn't. Someone attached the Studebaker name plate to the grille off something else.Originally posted by DEEPNHOCK View PostHere's a pic of a (supposed) Studebaker COE (Ace) grill that is hanging in my shop.

Good to know.... I bought it for a wall hanger anyways....
So...Instead of a cheap Studebaker grille, I bought an expensive Studebaker grille badge
(If it had a plaque on it, I would have known
)
