British, 1950's-1960's, 3 Road Racing Track & Club Grill Badges
Item #45273 : Original era manufacture. Mounted to a US style aluminum license plate size plaque, are three period Grill badges from the golden age of Sports Car racing in the 1950's and 1960's.The left-most badge represents the course of Aintree in the UK, the center badge Automobile Club de l'Oest, and the right side, the course at Goodwood.The plate and badges display normal age and wear, with the center badge suffering from some enamel loss on the right side of thetriangle.Car club badges and race course badges were a very popular adornment to the grills and bumpers of European sportscars back in the 1950's-60's and early 70's. At one time I was an avid collector of these, and this trio was part of that collection. They are not the new, Indian-made badges currently offered on EBAY.
