jean.jurkiewicz@yahoo.com Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I need to know who made the below and what the year was and auto. Can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 (edited) Looks to be an aftermarket accessory from a parts store or J.C.Whitney, to me. Do you have any photos of the bottom of it? Are there any numbers in there? Is it hollow? Edited June 27, 2018 by keiser31 (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it is from a car or truck. You may have misunderstood what I was saying. What I am saying is that it is an accessory and not from any particular make or model car. Here is another. Hollow usually means that is was an aftermarket piece. Edited June 27, 2018 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Probably 1950s to 1970s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

60FlatTop Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I can tell the wings on the first one pictured are more horizontal and the second more vertical. You have to be clever to notice that on windshields, though. Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean.jurkiewicz@yahoo.com Posted June 28, 2018 Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 I will take and send another picture but it is not the one you have pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlLaFong Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I don't think you understand. The ornament is not from any particular car. It was an accessory that you could buy at an auto parts store, like Western Auto or Pep Boys. You could put it on a Ford, A Crosley, a Packard or any car that you could drill a hole in the hood to mount it. As stated, it is probably from the 50s or 60s. It has no great value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean.jurkiewicz@yahoo.com Posted June 28, 2018 Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 Ok now i get it. Thank you. I seems strange that you could buy something like that at a store. But thanks.jean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne sheldon Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Just for kicks and giggles, I googled "flying goose radiator ornament". Along with a few hundred other image results (at least half totally not what I asked about), was one almost exactly like the one Jean pictured. Unfortunately, the link provided by google went to a totally different nude goddess ornament that had been reported sold on eBad. Gotta love the computer and gamer mentality. Anything that works well, eventually they will get around to screwing it up. That is why I had to get out of cutting edge technology about fifteen years ago.

Buick35 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 My 35 Buick has a scantily clothed woman as an original ornament. I was told that many of them were broken off for that reason probably by some self righteous farmers or their wives with a baseball bat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

60FlatTop Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I could spend a whole day opening and closing a '41 Cadillac hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
