what is this part?

[Dutch Vickie]

Still working on my 55 Vickie.
In one of the boxes I found this part.
Can anyone tell me what this is?
Is it actually a 55 Ford part?

grtz,

A little easier to see for us old farts.

That looks like the front motor mount on my 55 Town Sedan but I'll have to jack my car up and crawl under it to be sure. Too hot today (101F or 38.3C). Maybe in the morning while it's still in the lower 80s before the sun comes up.

Not the front steady rest on a 54-56 car or truck

That is not a 1955 Ford part - it appears to be a bracket that holds a portion, or maybe the center, of where a grill would go. It would span between the gravel pan and the hood latch panel from what it looks like.

Thnx all!
I already thought it wasn't a Ford part.
I could not find it in the shop manual.

grtz,
