There was a time when having a space-age hood ornament was more important than the lawsuits you’d be defending against when your car perforated a few pedestrians. Those times have changed, but luckily some of these old cars are still around. I’ve been lucky enough to catch the Old Cars show in my neighborhood a few times and the hood ornaments are my favorite. This is from a 1956 Chevy Nomad, but others from this time are just as… sharp. I’ll post more in coming days.
