Yet another what is this...

I picked up a little something that I am going to use as air cleaners for Stromberg 97's with a bit of jiggling. They were said to be air scoops for a 50's Cadillac but I would like to know exactly before I get asked.

Does anyone recognise them?

Bill, have you got a bigger picture?

I will go down the shed tonight and take a better and bigger photo and post that - I used the one off ebay.

What are you running two 97s on? I just missed out on picking up 4 97s for $75 ....

These look like air inlets on Cadillacs circa 1955, 1956. They are located on top of the rear quarters (when equipped) between the C-post and the rear deck lid. Don't know that they are one in the same, googled images of this era caddy but didn't find a closeup of the inlet.

They are going on a 59A Flathead in a 46 jailbar (Ford half ton truck) on an Offy manifold. I am after a different look, hence these....

Ken, you are on the money, thank you. I found one on google...

Caddy A/C inlet

Found another view showing the grille, apparently used when the cars were equipped with AC, the unit was trunk mounted, similar to the Continental Mark II which had the inlets incorporated into the sheet metal.
These vents look similar, but different than your photos. Let you be the judge.
