I can't copy the image, but this '32 hood ornament will make you smile, I promise. A bit risque,too. http://idisk.mac.com/forever4/Public/pages/1932risquecap.htm
Here's one I got off the HAMB. Don't remember who took the shot, but it look's like some of Kirk's work. If I'm wrong, I'm sure the owner will chime in........
The Nethercutt Collection in Sylmar, CA has an incredible selection of ornaments on the mezzanine floor of the museum. Follow the 'san sylmar' and then 'mezzanine' link... http://nethercuttcollection.org/index2.html Also check out their collection of early restored cars and early mechanical musical instruments. One of the best places to take a tour when visiting the San Fernando Valley. No charge, guided tour by reservation.
What no greyhounds with sweaters? I'm very disapointed. LOL Very nice pictures thanks. Ive always wanted one of the Petty designed Nash ones, if only to set on my desk.
I wish I had a photo of this... a guy I used to room with had an '85 Crown Vic with a naked woman as the hood ornament -- and he rerouted a windshield washer fluid line to spurt up behind her, so it was like a fountain statue.
My dad 1932 Buick series 92 was sent to the Paris worlds fair to represet all American cars of the early 30s... as a gift they gave the car one of these for the radiator cap.
here are 5 devil mascots I have. I have two others as well (on the cars) that I dont have a pic of, but will take a picture of and post. I believe there were only 7 varities of these (devil flat "cocking a snoot") the ones not pictures are with a cape and one with ram horns.....anyway, i'll post those later.
