ron hausmann Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 All - I have what is believed to be a complete original 1931 Pontiac hood ornament. The Indians wings are totally solid and the detail is excellent. I sold my 1931 Pontiac parts but kept this. Now it’s time to let go.. first $350 plus shipping gets it. Ron Hausmann p.e.

scalptrader Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Ron, when you say restorable is that because there’s no plating? Any damage? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron hausmann Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 All - i was told there were some high quality reproductions of this cast, so you guys get to judge if this is original or an old high quality repro. This one is bronze. I spent a few minutes on a buffer this morning to bring out details. See pictures and decide. There are no numbers on it.

ron hausmann Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 All - Book says originals were cast zinc (pot metal) so this one may be a very early high quality repro. Still gorgeous and great for use on a 1931 DeSoto when replated. Price reduced to $ 300 Ron Hausmann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrence Metzger Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Ron, I have a 1931 DeSoto CF8 sedan which I am restoring. This takes a radiator cap with internal flanges on the base that secure or tighten it as it placed on top of the radiator. I don't know if yours can be adapted to fit? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark P Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Hi Ron, Do you still have the DeSoto Hood Ornament. If so would you sell it? How much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yvonne V Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Hello. I hope someone can help me. I am looking for the 1931 radiator cap that goes on my DeSoto. Does anyone know of a place where I can look other than ebay? Haven't found one there and haven't had any luck going through the DeSoto club which I joined 8 months ago. Don't mind if it's a reproduction. This is my car below. Thank you for any help! Yvonne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron hausmann Posted November 24, 2023 Author Share Posted November 24, 2023 Yvonne, Lawrence, Mark. My high quality reproduction cap in this above forum string is still available at $300 plus shipping. It has a threaded hole underneath which can be adapted to whatever mount your car has. It can be shined up nicely. First buyer gets it. Let me know. Ron Hausmann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yvonne V Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Hi Ron. I have replied to the email that you sent saying it is still available. I am looking at these posts and realizing that you are the seller. I would like to purchase it from you please. If you could call me or respond to tell me what I need to do in order to purchase it, I will do so as soon as I hear back from you. I am a teacher, so I can usually only answer the phone when I am off work which is 2:30 in the afternoon central time.
