I love hood ornaments. The big heavy chrome or chrome on pot-metal ones, that let you know that the car behind it was something special.
Now days if your car is lucky to have one, your hood ornament will be a cheap chrome coated plastic with a flexible base. But I’m betting, if you walk around to the front of your car and look at it straight on, you will fine a 2D plastic logo belonging fixed as part of your grille.
But the older ones helped identify the car and gave you an indication of what the engineers had as an inspiration for the building rest of the car.
I have a few. Started as a photo project my son started. Check them out, I have them for no other reason than I liked them.
Check them out.
I don’t have a favorite, well maybe the Chevy ornaments.
Got a couple laying around on or off a car? Drop me a note.
Thanks for reading.
