Richard Dube showed an interesting Stutz hood ornament yesterday. Hood ornaments have always interested me.

Here are a few of my images collected in the last two years.

1926 McLaughlin Buick Royal Car.

1935 Mercedes Benz 540K Cabriolet.

1937 Triumph Continental.

1947 Jaguar Mark IV

If you ever make it to So Cal, may I recommend the Nethercutt Museum?  One of the many exhibits is a comprehensive display of hood ornaments.

They did make some beautiful hood ornaments for automobiles back then. My personal favorite will always be the light up hood ornament on the Pontiacs.😊

Love these! I'll never forget the first time I saw Bugatti's Dancing Elephant mascot. I thought it was a joke. It isn't.

Really?  I don't recall seeing a post of his since this new Diecast Forum debuted in 2020/21.
