Finally saw an old find in use on television. Car guys take note!

Years ago I found this set of wings from an old radiator cap and I don't even remember where. I do remember the overload signal I got when my XLT swung over it! I've looked on the internet from time to time and never found an identical piece, but I think I spotted a match on "American Pickers" this week. I held mine up in front of the TV screen as Mike and Frank stood in front of a 1931 Ford with what appears, to me anyway, to be the same product. Mine actually has 1587 stamped on the back; either a part number or serial number. Anyone know if these have much value or are in demand for a restoration? So, this isn't Today's Find but I did see a match today.

Pretty cool find. A couple months ago I found a Ford Model A tailight. A week after finding it I saw a Ford Model A driving down the road with the same kind of taillight.

Nice one. Here is mine I found a while back, only half as good as yours though

Nice!
I've found a few car parts, but haven't seen them in action yet.
