keiser31 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 If it is a 1942 part, maybe it's just ready for paint as a blackout model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron42Dodge Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Good news, bad news.Yes this is a 1942 Dodge Hood Ornament. Could be a blackout but the finish looks a little funny, like it has been stripped. :confused: Could be worn paint.The bad news is it is broken. It is missing about 2-3 inches of the tail.I have attached a picture of a chrome and blackout hood ornament that are full length, from my Motortopia page. There is a minature change in depth about 3" from the back end where the ornament started to overlap the hood hinge. These like to break off around there. I don't have mine in front of me to give you the total length these should be.Nice piece otherwise.Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
37Airflow Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 You're right, it is broken. Thanks for pointing that out. It's a clean break, because I didn't even notice it, and I inspected it very carefully.Not sure what it's worth now, if anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron42Dodge Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 It is easy not to notice, until you see a complete one.My first 42 Dodge came with a broken tail and I did not notice it for a while. It looks right except the end is barely open. Now I have about 3 spares.My polishing rag constently gets caught under that darn tail.People are still interested in the 42 ornaments, even if they are broken. Just not near for what you originally hoped to get. Is that one painted or bare metal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
37Airflow Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 It's bare metal. I think that I'll mount it somewhere for display for now and maybe take it out to sell at swap meets. It's still in good shape besides the break in it.Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron42Dodge Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Just as a follow up. I looked up the part number in my parts book and that number should have been chromed. They had a different number for the blackout ones. This one probably was going to be rechromed and lost the tail in the stripping process. Still neat.
