That blue and white one is a Meteor..whatever the name of the sunliner is.  I know the meteor version of a Fairlane is Rideau, not sure if the convert was renamed too.  I also think I see the rear of a Custom or 300.cant tell if it's a 2 or 4 door though..

Couldn't believe there is a wikipedia page devoted to all the ''HOLY'' Robin shout outs. And that is one of many.

If you get a shot at a 57 Meteor hood ornament at what you consider reasonable I'm good for it.

i have the round part

So its the piece that looks like a gunsight? any idea if the base is the same as the regular Ford?

just did a Google image search and found there is a much different one for the Meteor Rideau 500. lots of interesting pieces on those cars.

that base piece and the outer ring look mighty similar to the 58 Edsel  hood ornament.

Thinking that the one I saw was for a 56 not a 57.
