I literally stumbled over a few bits of car recently and can't work out what it was. Can anyone identify the car from the attached photo please? photos.app.goo.gl/t5AsmUBMs9uZs5cV6 |

Tried googling 4 pointed star car grille and absolutely no idea.
Looks american and off a 4wd wagon - really don't know. Tougher than I thought

Some 9000's, a 900, an RX8 & a beetle

It is harder than I thought too. I'm hoping someone will be along at some stage telling me what it is though.

The star looks very similar to a Ford Capri/Consul Classic, so I'm guessing it's from a similar era Ford...  |

You could buy them stars as aftermarket accessories, I have a suspicion it may be one as that’s a bit too plain/poorly finished as a factory grille badge.
Got a pic of the full grille?

I didn't think to get the whole grill. Rookie error but I may be that way again in the next couple of months and will stop by if I am.

Original Consul Classics (the one pictured above has been customised, not to it's improvement if you ask me) had a blank grille opening crossed by the bumper with 5 of these 4 pointed stars "invisibly" suspended on a black bar The stars were mostly (but not always) finished in gold. "5 star cars" was a bit of a Ford UK slogan back in the early 60s. There was also a round red badge with 5 gold stars adorning the C pillar on Consul Classic saloons and some Anglias.
I also had a 61 Galaxie and this picture reminded me vividly of that car, though I can't now remember if it had the stars or not (I owned the Galaxie in 1975/6) The grille looks somewhat similar pattern too.

Wrong style of grille but Ford did use a similar emblem on their 1954 (2nd generation) F-100 pickup to denote the inline 6-cylinder engine as opposed to the V8:  Also in a slightly different style for the same truck.  Ford Customline:  Ford Meteors:   Yes, I think it's likely to be a Ford of a certain vintage! |
