Guest Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 Don't believe the ornaments are the same. I have a pic of a 1965 if interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

66400 Posted August 7, 2002 Share Posted August 7, 2002 '67 Skylarks were not equipped with a hood ornament. Henry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 7, 2002 Share Posted August 7, 2002 I have a MINT 1965 hood ornament that I bought a few years ago in hopes of doing a repro for the '65. I don't know if there are enough 65s out there to justify the cost. Might be willing to sell for a good price. I paid dearly to get this one.

Guest John Chapman Posted August 7, 2002 Share Posted August 7, 2002 Mitch,<P>Out of curiosity, how much would it be just to repo the foil inserts? I've seen a lot of '65 hood ornaments many of which were restorable except the colors on the foils had faded and/or the foils were missing.<P>I purchased a refurbished hood ornament from Alan Kelmer out of NJ several years ago, but the repo foil quality was not great. Otherwise, it was a very nice restoration.<P>Cheers,<BR>John<p>[ 08-07-2002: Message edited by: John Chapman ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DugsSin Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 John your right about the foil. Otherwise mine is in very nice condition. Just very little color on the trishields. <BR> Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 I'll look into doing a repro of the "metalcal" as we used to call those type of inserts. The ornament has a front and back emblem and they're bascially LH and RH. The kind of attention to detail you don't see often on the new cars.
