Well, to be more exact, hood ornaments. No matter how fancy, shiny and fast (and darned expensive) modern cars can get, they just don’t have the allure of these vintage cars and their hood ornaments. I’m so glad there are people out there dedicated to preserving these beauties.

They are beautiful. Love the old, vintage cars and their magnificent ornaments on top!
I also love old rusted trucks out in the desert! Their ornaments and grills may not be quite as shiny but they still have that fabulous appeal.
Those are good too!!!!!
Hood ornaments are so very cool. You’ve assembled a lovely collection here, Teri. Cheers!
I always try to find these golden oldies at every car show! Thanks 🙂
Stunning hood ornaments. Love em.
I thought you might 🙂
Oh, yes!!!!
I get why they stopped making them but it is a shame that they had to
I’m not sure any cars have hood ornaments any more, except for maybe Mercedes. And those are uninspired.
Rolls still have them I think but none are as artsy as those from these eras.
What’s the Rolls? Unless it a buxom woman with wings, forget it!
Love these! 🙂
They are cool aren’t they?
When “sleek” became chic in car design, we lost so much. These ornaments were among the causalities. Miss them.
Me too. Aerodynamic just doesn’t have the same panache!
