Can anyone help ID this hood ornament?
At first appearance it looks very much like the hood ornament from the
1951-52 Chrysler Imperial but on closer examination I'm not so sure. The Imperial has the circle and the main element but the circle doesn't stand proud and the side wings are missing. I think it's older than the fifties in any case but I have no pictures on file of this specific mascot. Sorry. Max "M.J. Schuon" > wrote in message ... > Anyone know what this hood ornament might be from? > > http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r.../ornament2.jpg > > http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r.../ornament1.jpg > > Thanks, > Marshall |

I too thought it might be Chrysler -- maybe of Airflow vintage. Tisn't, though. And can't find it any of my books. Marshall |

Hi Mike, I thought it was the Imperial too but have a look at the two and
you'll see considerable differences. On the one that Marshall posted the circle top is not even with the rear portion of the mascot, unlike on the Imperial. I had a look at all of my Imperial pictures and the mascot is quite small and not exactly like the one in Marshall's picture. But I could be wrong.

Well Max, looks the same to me.
I've put M. J. Schuon's two views into the ornament picture, cropped and enlarged it so you can see. Mike -- Advice when most needed is least heeded.

You know, I saw the resemblance but didn't see the perspective correctly
until I looked at your composite picture. I don't have depth vision because my left eye is weaker than the right one and its message is largely ignored unless I close my right eye. (I could never see 3-D movies through those coloured glasses that they used to issue in the movies, for the same reason.) I was seeing the wing in the rear as a vertical element leading back from the circle but now it's plain. I guess it really does depend on whether one can see outside the box. Thanks for clearing this up. Max "Mike G." > wrote in message m... > Well Max, looks the same to me. > I've put M. J.
