Can anyone help with identifying this grille?

I am reasonably certain that's a 1941 Lincoln.

Does anyone know for sure what type of car this is?
Unusual top trim design on the radiator.

I believe possibly a 1927 REO Flying Cloud?

Thank you

I think you're right, radiator shell matches this one:

I have these 2 grills and need help identifying them. They were found in a garage with a ton of Oldsmobile parts and dealership advertisements. Any help would be appreciated.

I would say those are from late 1950s Nash Metropolitan.

Bingo! Google that, pictures just like them pop up.

My first guess was a TR-3, but the proportions are wrong.

Yeah, the proximity to Oldsmobile threw me for a little bit, and i thought maybe it was something very obscure Olds, but the shape just seemed all wrong for anything in that lineage. It felt brit, like Triumph or Austin-Healey, but I wasn't having any luck their, either, as this one is more like the shape and/or simple design of the those marques, without the overall flair. This exercise was just a reminder that cross-make similarities isn't only a modern thing.

Kudos to @StacyLane for the excellent photos!

Do you guys have any more pictures? This game is really interesting, it reminds me of the old times when I was young and my grandpa used to take me to his garage and show me different parts of old cars which he had in there.

For this particular thread, there's very little activity except when someone comes in with a legitimate inquiry. However, there is the Mystery Car Pix thread, where folks regularly post photos of individual vehicles or historical place photos with many vehicles present. We identify, discuss, and reminisce about them in response....
