This was a big deal for Chevrolet in 1957.

Does this qualify as a hood ornament ?
A Mack truck bulldog lookalike, tethered to a '65 Skylark Gran Sport hood latch.

Amazing series.

[Loupey]

A 'vette of course. But the year escapes me...

[starriderrick]

1956 Chevrolet BelAir.

b.t.w. Loupey..I think '63-64 'Vette. Sweet shot. :thumbsup:

I'm not a 'Vette' expert Loupey, but I believe it's a '63 Sting Ray (...with the hood up) .
...the year the coupes had the trademark split rear window, a one year only feature, along with the fake hood louvers.
Nice capture, btw !! :thumbsup:

[Loupey]

Rick & Rivman - thanks for the info on that car. I gotta remember to pay more attention.

Another one - an old but beautiful Jag. Not really an ornament on not really a hood.

[starriderrick]

Wow,Loupey...very nice! Here is a classic..1952 PACKARD.

[Rivman]

Very classy captures Rick !! :thumbsup:
A couple of Vette nose emblems - '78 25th Anniversary, and an unknown ( '79 ?).
