Mark Wetherbee Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 (edited) First thought on the hood ornament was Fargo, but I can’t confirm that. If the ball was patterned as a globe I would be more sure of it… Joe found out it’s an Oldsmobile… Edited September 16, 2021 by Mark Wetherbee (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe_padavano Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 The center cap could be Motor Wheel aftermarket, or it could be Chrysler or AMC. The label around the center should say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAKerry Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 The hubcap is junk, unless you have the other 3 and really NEED 1 more. No idea on the hood ornament but someone would probably want/need it. Cost twice that much to rechrome. The tailights look to be in pretty good shape, may clean up nicely for a driver. I dont know that Pontiac very well so no idea if they are reproed. If not the lenses look good and that in itself is worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 The 35 Olds hood ornament might have value as a rechromeable core, I can't say for sure because that's a little too old for me. If the other items were mine, they'd be on display on my large $5 swap meet pile. It's time to pass this stuff on to someone else to deal with and that's probably the intention of the person posting the ad in the first place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cost twice that much to rechrome. It will cost ten times as much to fill the pits and rechrome it. Unfortunately, if you need it, there is no choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Smolinski Posted September 17, 2021 Author Share Posted September 17, 2021 I'll let the seller know what he has & maybe he can find someone who needs these. Thanks for your input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
