What could this be? Horn button? Or….?

Found this on the carpet while looking for something else that I dropped.🥴 I don’t recall ever seeing it previously. Anyone know what it belongs to? Thanks!🙂

Looks like a Ford hood emblem.

The shape of the shield seems wrong.

Thanks Ron. I gotta open my eyes!😬 It’s from this IMC Cougar ll that I work on off and on.

It looks kinda like this one from a ‘57 Fairlane.

Yes indeed, Greg, the emblem they used from the late '40s till, I dunno, the early-mid '60s? Somewhere along the way they stretched it out wider....but what's the obsolete ford coat of arms doing on the the hood of a Mercury concept? That's kinda strange. 🤔. Good thing you found it!  🙂    Maybe it's a Canadian thing?

Well shut my mouth! 🤐  they should have built it. It's pretty neat.

And here is the Cougar 1.😎 https://www.autoevolution.com/news/cougar-406-concept-the-story-of-ford-s-forgotten-gullwing-concept-car-223532.html

I think the Cougar ll would have sold…not sure about the One? It looks too much like something George Jetson might own.😬
