Not for sure where it really came from, it was on one of my trucks I bought years ago. Pitted really bad.

To be exact it is a 1956 Chevrolet passenger car hood ornament or often times referred to as a hood bird.

Reproductions go for 160 - 200. A really clean original will bring 100.

I just sold a real nice 1955 Chevy hood bird on ebay bay 80.00

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the help guys would you suggest I get it rechromed and sell it for $200?

Do a search on ebay. They are not going for as much as I thought.

I would not spend the money to have it re chromed. There does not seem to be a high demand for the part.

Good luck

Looks like with its' value (or lack thereof) it is something to hang up somewhere as a conversation piece

A rechromed original is worth more than a reproduction. Don't rely on Ebay as your sole reference of value. Lots of people who don't know anything on there and prices vary due to the nature of auctions
