Ever Hear of Car Mascots?
Perhaps hood ornament sounds more familiar to you. Cars of yesteryear had some amazing detail. We have probably all seen the 'wings' of the 1950s, and how about the retractable roofs from the Ford Motor Company? Interiors of antique cars were often decked out with leather upholstery, vanity mirrors, and plush carpet. In the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s something as simple as a radiator cap was often turned into a work of art. These items are now considered very valuable collectibles. The following article, in a past issue of Dark Roasted Blend, http://bit.ly/qHWuYH is filled with photos of some of the most beautiful and elaborate 'Car Mascots' ever made.
Even those of you who may not be interested in automobiles of past generations may be intrigued by these gems. As providers of classic car and antique auto insurance we have seen some real beauties. Do you have photos you would like to share such as a special hood ornament, or a picture of your restored classic or antique automobile?
