Description
From their plain beginnings as manufacturer�s badges installed on car radiators, hood ornaments evolved into an art form all their own. Early automobile badges were often made from enameled metal decorated with a company's name and logo. Three-dimensional hood ornaments, or mascots as they are also called, were created as a combination of the manufacturers official insignia and the home-made talismans car owners frequently attached to their radiators. A mixture of brand identifier and good-luck charm, hood ornaments quickly became standard decoration on automobiles during much of the 20th century.This greyhound was no doubt meant to symbolize the speed and grace of the vehicle it adorned: this 1936 roadster. This colorful reminder of the past is perfect for any car enthusiast.
