Hello all. Does anyone have a pic of the nose ridge where it passes through the front emblem on a 58'. As you can see from my photo mine is sort of squared off at the top but is more round as it goes down under the car. My issue is from the bottom of the emblem the ridge has been crunched. I'm trying to fix it but not sure what I'm aiming for. Thanks

You have an early style raised base. It’s unique to early cars. 55-57.

Thanks Darrel, So it looks like it is squared off just under the emblem. Does it taper to more round as it goes down the nose?
