It was fun trying to figure out what it is. Nobody was close. Some body did say Buick. With never seing one before I would have thought it would be rare. I'm still gonna have to build a car arround it someday.
Thaks again

A little O/T but the coolest hood ornament I have seen was on a '34 Ford coupe. It was a naked woman laying on her back with her legs spread. She was using the 'V8' as an insertion device............if you know what I mean. Wish I could find one (the ornament I mean).

OK.....maybe it is the second coolest http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I tried finding one of these actually on a 1928 Chevrolet, and all the ones I have seen on the net had a plain cap, or a motometer cap. Perhaps this was an upgrade on the '28

Elrod...I had never seen one like this before. I had seen plenty of ones I liked. Buick had one with an 8 with wings coming off it wich I like and saw several of but didn't like the prices. Same thing with the one the roadster.com guy has seen a couple but didn't like the price. This is the only one like this I saw. I did see one with an Iron Cross on it I liked but $400 was way out of my price range.

Mike! That is the hood ornament I described. Looks like the same car but it was here in Ontario. Any info on how I could find one?

I don't have a clue where to find one Al.
I stumbled onto the picture earlier this year, probably here on the HAMB. I've a file of hood ornament pictures so I saved it.

I have a 28 Chevy and it came with a flat cap. that one must have been an accessory. I would love to find one.

Yeah, I have a picture of the "V8 damsel" hood ornament, I took it in Syracuse back around '95 or so. No idea who owns the car, but its a real old-time roadster, black, channeled a bunch, w/ a home-made grille made of bent rod or tubing.

Dang, I'm gonna hafta get a scanner one of these days.
