Need some help!!
Anyone have a idea who made this radiator shell?
Picked up at a auction and would like to know more about it
Thanks for any help
Rick.

With the triangle depression my first thought was Hudson...
But the shell doesn't match their designs...

I think it's an aftermarket accessory shell for a low radiator Model T Ford.

On a scale of 1 to 10, rates a 10 on the coolness factor but 0 on who made it. I would say Ed is correct, low radiator T shell.

It was originally supplied with a Peerless aftermarket radiator for a Model T Ford.

There are currently several speedsters that are active with the club that run one like it. If memory serves me, the late "Humble" Howard Genrich ran one like it on his famous No. 7.

Something itched in the back of my head. Looks familiar.
Indeed, Humble Howard Genrich (#7) ran that same shell.
I wasn't able to find a picture clear enough to read the triangle emblem.

Never mind...

Howard’s Lucky #7

I wasn't aware that Peerless/Corcoran Manufacturing Co. made "bat wing" radiator shells as shown in the photos.

The 1917/23 Peerless/Corcoran aftermarket shells I have seen in person, period photos and in their advertising have a gentle curve on the lower edge of the upper apron and a riveted Peerless script. Later advertisements show Peerless shells were straight across and basically identical to a Ford factory issued shell (Google book search below):

Thank you for all the responses.
Now I know what I'm have.
Now the hunt for the badge to go in the shell.
Thanks Rick
