✅ SOLVED Car Emblems

I know the one is Pontiac (am I smart or what?) but I can't figure out the other one at all. I'd guess Dodge due to the ram but not sure. I don't know how I would list either on ebay as I don't know the years either.

Any ID marks, letter or words on the reverse?

If it's a Dodge emblem, it's not one I've ever seen before. Does it say USA at the bottom? Maybe Los Angeles Rams football emblem or a college team?

Both are 1940.

This link shows an earlier version with the same ram, from a Dodge: The 1936 Chrysler Imperial C-10 'Airflow' - and OUR car!! - Chrysler 300C Forum: 300C & SRT8 Forums
Its in post #8, in the middle. I can't verify the information said about it, but this variation makes it clear that it's a Dodge.

Wow! You guys are good! That didn't take long. I have about a dozen of these things from various cars. Been thinking about ebay.

Is that the only Pontiac emblem you have? I have always been a Pontiac fan. I have a 67 GTO that is 99.99% restored.

An interesting note I hadn't realized, according to the below link, is that a ram of some sort or another was on the hood of all Dodge cars and trucks both from 1932-54 (I'd figured it was just trucks) Avard T. Fairbanks, designer of the Dodge Ram symbol and the Plymouth Flying Lady hood ornaments

Yeah, that's the only Pontiac emblem. The rest are Desoto, Chevy, Cadillac, Plymouth and Buick. They all seem to be from the mid to late 30's.
