In the early years of the automobile, manufacturers used to mount silvery, speedy-looking hood ornaments on their cars. This was a fun piece to do! Ford Lincoln used to mount these from the mid-1920s to 1930s. |

Super Bee

My dad was an engineer at Chrysler when I grew up in the 1960s in Detroit. This is a side-ornament of a Dodge Scamp, which I liked because it looked so cheerful.
