Morgan Wright Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I might pay $129 for the Packard Boyce. I saw Judy Garland buy Mickey Rooney one in an Andy Hardy movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

27donb Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 After a search on Ebay, here is the link to the Buick one. I have no affiliation with the seller! https://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Brass-Boyce-Moto-Meter-Buick-Temperature-Guage-Hood-Ornament/273002214377?hash=item3f903333e9:g:mPYAAOSwO7haOWP5 Also: Corinth (Dodge) ? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Dodge-Brothers-Corinth-Moto-Meter-Temperature-Guage-Hood-Ornament/273001919194?hash=item3f902eb2da:g:B2EAAOSwTm9aRmHI Dayton (?) https://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Brass-Dayton-Moto-Meter-Temperature-Guage-Hood-Ornament/282789486089?hash=item41d7911e09:g:hqEAAOSwyYFaRlVc Gary W. VA (?) https://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Brass-Boyce-Moto-Meter-Gary-W-Va-Temperature-Guage-Hood-Ornament/282788468915?hash=item41d78198b3:g:dw4AAOSwUYNaRTuB All unique, yes. And probably rare. But not for me. In my opinion, they are far too chiseled and hard cornered to complement a Buick. Perhaps appropriate for a vintage truck, but a Buick dogbone should be more ornate and rounded, like the styles of the cars in the twenties. Just my opinion! Maybe these are much earlier vintage, I don't know. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
