51-53 Dash Bird, Help id Please!!

[John Morris #23947]

Hello! Here's pictures of a very nice dash bird I got from a carcass many moons ago. In the 51-53 range. The master parts list shows 5 different birds those years. Would anybody out there know which one this beauty is??

I only find FOUR different instrument panel emblems (group 3.1200) in my parts book (1952 w/53 supplement)
#145 5340 for 1949 (all Series) and 1950 CC
#145 6935 for 1950-51 Series 60S
#145 8907 for 1952-53 Series 60S
#145 8906 for 1950-53 Series 61, 62, 75, CC except 1950 CC

The first one is a crest, the second and third ones read "Fleetwood", the fourth one reads "Cadillac" - therefore no doubt about wideness of applications for your own.

Thanks Phillip. I must have read too quickly. I appreciate your assistance very much.

OOPS!, I spoke too soon. I went back to the Master Parts List and there are 4 between 51-53, two say Cadillac, a 51-52 and a 53. So I'm stuck between those 2 that say Cadillac.

I'm sorry for my mistake ! my 1953 supplement doesn't mention these new parts, maybe they print it early in the model year.

C'an't even help you with my own car "bird", it's a Fleetwood
