Kinda looks like it. Would have been made out of 3 grills as '51 and '52 only had 3 protrusions, this things got 7.

Possibly made up from multiple 52 F1 grille teeth and spliced central bars? Hard to judge the scale..

Re: Is this a Ford front?
 I seem to remember that certain 50s Cadillac grills or maybe front bumper guards were called Dagmars.

Re: Is this a Ford front?
How about you are on a 2 lane at 1 AM and this truck comes up behind you with all
its lights on and gets so close you can see those 7 'teeth. vs Dagmar comes up that close at 1 AM and I'm not talkin' teeth. Chasrlie ny |
