It looks close to a 1965 Cadillac but not exact, so Im thinking a GM product? Thanks.   ------------- The 14th Annual Exclusive AC Swap Meet will be held in Boonville, MO, March 7-8, 2025. See the club website for details: http://www.moacclub.com/ |

My thought
 as well. But after a look I don't think DJ will be putting it on his Chev, but you never know. He may be tired of looking and waiting. |

Well,,it wishful thinkin that that big old thing will fit the 55,,,,but,,,,but,,,give me a pair of minutes, a 4 1/2" grinder and a mig welder and,,,,and I could whip up something ,,,,but it still gots too much chrome for ole Joe,,,me bein a somewhat frugal person,,,,,,,,,  Just for the record,,I think the second pic is right side up as the parkin lights would have that "hood" part of the bumper over them, and the both ends flaring forwards is a give-a-way,,,,I think it is a big car Pontiac,,,mid 60's to early 70's,,,,,,,,

Since license plates hang down from the mounting bolts, I think that the second picture is correct. And I thought Cadillac right off the bat. ------------- Dad always said," If you have one boy, you have a man. If you have two boys, you have two boys". "ALLIS EXPRESS" |

| I drove by an older Catalina last night and now I’ve changed my vote. My new guess is for a 70’s tornado before they were square. |

looks like the right family of cars though. It is GM, so could be the pontiac, chevy, or olds version of the same vehicle. They made slight modifications to make them somewhat unique. |
