I have purchased a car part, I believe it fits a Cadillac hood. Can anyone tell me if I am correct, and what year it might fit?

The part in the back fits a 1958 Chevrolet Medium Duty VIKING 40 truck.

Take a better photo on a dark background, with nothing else in the picture, then go to [Google.com](http://Google.com), click images, and follow the prompts to search with an image rather than with words, by uploading the photo to Google.

I’m thinking it is a DeSoto crest from the 1950’s. It isn’t a Cadillac part.

That doesn’t look like the Cadillac logo. Maybe Desoto. A clearer photo would help.

That looks like a ship in the middle, that would be off a Plymouth.

It looks like a Plymouth emblem to me, circa 50s IIRC.
