  6. 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.

  12. What no greyhounds with sweaters? I'm very disapointed.

    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.

    The Nash one is off a Nash Metropolitan. A buddy has one of those Petty girl hood ornaments.
