It's called a Shoe, (--or in the Purist's world, a pitted Model-A front bumper bracket!  ) . A Shoe is an era safety device so that if you lose a spindle or front wheel, the Shoe acts as a ski to keep the front from digging in and potentially barrel-rolling the vehicle. |
Ohhh I see, thanks! Yea I thought it looked pretty stout so I was thinking like a recovery hook or something but it would definitely prevent the car from flipping for sure.
