A couple of 30's Darrins.

 

I started collecting back in the 70's as a kid, here's some older stuff with some pushing O/T

 

Plymouth Barracuda

 

Man really sorry claiming that was my pic couple back!! I took a few similar style pics at Carslile this year and obviously I had them confused somehow in my zillion pics among different devices. These Are the ones I was mixing up with. That's my reflection for sure. In the other one the reflection looks like Paul Sr. From Amercican Chooper sorry I did not blow it up earlier and notice that.

Random shots

 

random shots I've taken thru the years.

 

That's a great emblem until you want to nose one. Then you need to patch a hole you can stick your hand through

Still looking for this one for my coupe.

What the heck is a Leela?

 

1933 - 1934

1935 - 1936
I could have taken pictures of my rechromed ones but I thought these looked more interesting

 

Here's the one from my avatar.

 

48 Pontiac

 

This came from an Aussie produced '34 Ford Coupe Ute built in Geelong Victoria.

 

Here is an International Harvester one, that came off a chest freezer in my better halfs great aunts basement. The beer bottle gives some scale.

 

Ford V8 Pilot

 

1938

 

1962 Falcon hood ornament

 

Those old ornaments show a lot of imagination. Have you noticed how many new car emblems have an oval shape these days? Very boring.
