Default Is this off a motorcycle?

Here’s a Indian head from my late father in law. He used to talk about his old motorcycles from the 40’s and 50’s and rode a more modern bike until his passing in 1987. Can anyone tell me if this is from an old bike or a car?
I’m thinking off an old Pontiac, but maybe from an Indian motorcycle.

the first thing that flashed in my mind when I saw the first pic was that was the southbound end of a northbound turkey.
