[Can anyone ID this Mascot ? New photo's added 8-22-07]

Greetings Gang,

I have had this old Radiator mascot for many years and noone I know can figure out what kind of car it came from and from what year.

I think it's from the mid to late 20's. On the back of the Hinge it reads : STERLING PATN'D 6-23-25 CHICAGO

Its got me stumped.

Please have a look at the photos and if anyone can help me ID this beauty I'd be most appreciative.

here is the link to my webpage.

It has a RED 1959 Plymoputh Surburban on the cover and the cover story is

about the Peterson Automotive museum.

I am looking for a duplicate copy to give dad for a birthday present in late

Janurary.

My article is in "Sound your Horn" (sharing the history)

[I need your help to ID this Mascot.]

Howdy Gang,

I am in need of your help to identify the kind of Car this mascot was made for. Its a eagle in flight on a globe and on the base of the globe the front of the mascot is a Rose with bow and it is stamped:

STERLING PNT'D 6-23-25 CHICAGO

It looks like a late teen's or early 20's radiator cap.

[Heart Broken]

Greetings Gang, John here in Des Plaines,IL.

Recently someone backed into our origional 36 Chevrolet master deluxe town sedan and we sustained a softball sized dent in our right front fender atop the wheelwell also when they hit us they cracked the driverside fender also.

The person who hit us has State Farm insurance.

I had my car appraised at 12,000.00 when I bought it.

We are worried about not being able to match the laqure paint. The car has its origional paint job(the first year Chevy used metallic paint) the color is Tampa Metallic and is 69 yrs old. State Farm has advised us in writing we have up to 1 year to find a restoration shop to due the work.

My questions are:

1) Has anyone had any dealing with State Farm Ins as being the claimant?

2) how is their reputation with handling claims we really want the car fixed.

3) does anyone know of a restoration shop in the Chicagoland area?

4) is anyone out ther still shooting laqure paint?

5) is it still available?

if anyone has any recommendation of a shop to use:

PLEASE email us at LLFD3@aol.com .

Thanks in advance for any help.

["Do you still Drive it?????"]

Howdy Gang, I bought my first car vintage car 2 years ago.

Its a 1936 Chevrolet Master Deluxe Town Sedan. I am the 3rd owner and very happy with the car. It is unrestored and in origional condition and I drive her as much as possible.

when I bought the car she had 52000 miles and now she has 55600 miles. I bought her to enjoy driving in not to be a trailer queen.

Remember if you see an old car driving down the road and you like what you see Please honk your horn we'll know why you beeped. )
