here's a "Bull Nose" for a 1949-52 Chevrolet. I've never seen a car with one on it. a guy on ebay must have raided an old parts store, he had a bunch of them listed for all kinds of cars. the newest car on the list on the box is 1956.

SoCal's post's were excellent , thanks for sharing all those images.

 

Have you guys ever found a Poncho amber hood ornament that was not all cracked up?Every one I have ever seen as cracks and striations to a greater or lesser degree.Exposure to the elements causes the damage or simply age?

 

Try a trophy shop. That winged wheel was/is used on circle track trophy's.

 

Here's one that is serving as my shift knob. Probably the only reason it isn't cracked is that it was an NOS piece that someone gave me awhile back. His brother used to work at the plant that manufactured them for GM and he had a bunch of them. Probably all gone now;this was ten years ago.
