Re: hood orniments ?

Was there a specific package these were used on, or just as desired by the person ordering the truck?

That's an emblem off an old Buick. We have had three 35 buicks in the shop and they all have that emblem on the radiator

I thought it was Packard. A buddy of mine is a hood ornament collector, and that one is one of his favorites. He's told me that they call that particular one "The Goddess Of Speed".

My dad had one of a "flying lady", her breasts actually lit up when the lights were on. I need to ask if he still has that one or not. :) He had another that was almost identical that was just all chrome, he had it on a lot of trucks back in the 70's and 80's. Was probably a good foot long and oh so shiny!
