Would this look ok on a 36-38 Hudson / Terraplane

Same basic shape zepplin, but larger. I picked it up for resale , it fits a Lincoln
But I thought it might be better than nothing on 37 ?
Anybody do photoshop?

    What escutcheon will you use with it? This may be the problem. Always good to have a matching set. Im sure the proper handles are out there.

    I think this would look cool.
    It's meant for a French Citroen Traction Avant but could perhaps be modified to fit.
    You can buy them in France.
    Private message me if you want a link.

    They're a copy of a period Citroen accessory. I had one on the 1952 Citroen Traction Avant that I used to own.
    You can get them in chrome or polished aluminium.

    In response to a request I've had, here's a link to buy the Citroen deco mascot made of chromed brass -

    selectus en laiton chromé - Traction 11 B - Renel Auto Accessoires

    Buy the one for the Traction 11 B not the Traction 11 BL because I don't think the BL's base is too curved for the profile of a 37 Terraplane cowl.

    Here are two Peugeot deco mascots that look pretty close to the Terraplane cowl profile as well and might be adaptable -
