You don't see hood ornaments much anymore, but some years ago, these two were attached to a couple of beautiful older American automobiles at a local car night automobile show. I think I know what make of car, perhaps you do , also ?

I think you very well could be right ! I had thought perhaps a '36 or '37 Pontiac or a Thirties Pontiac with "Silver Streak Styling" and I thought the next one, with that hood ornament, might be a jet-powered Oldsmobile, but I think your Chevrolet from 1956 is much more likely, as I think a 1956 Chevrolet had made appearances at out local car shows.

Cool post Mike! Some guys have large collections of Hood Ornaments/Mascots. I thought about it but backed off.

Though I don't have it, I do recall a book published some years back, perhaps a decade or more ago, that featured only old car hood ornaments. For those interested in hood ornaments, it might be worth seeking out.

Thanks! I knew I'd remembered seeing one, but great for those that like them, that there are books that can enhance their love for them.

There used to be dozens for sale on eBay. Haven't looked recently.
