karen_not_that_karen Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I have this beautiful hood ornament that belonged to my father. He worked for his entire career at GM as a Design Engineer. It is in really, really great condition (compared to others I have seen on Ebay and Worthpoint) I have been trying to do some research on this piece before I sell it and it seems like this design is more consistent with the 1930-31 design. Can anyone help me solve this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straight8pontiac Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Good morning Karen... you are correct in saying that this cap is for the 1930-31 Pontiac. The 1928 radiator cap has a smaller round base with a bronze faced Indian. Good luck with your sale- Dave. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexRiv_63 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 If you are going to sell it you should remove it from the base and verify it has the OEM Ternstedt numbers inside. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karen_not_that_karen Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 Looks like it's legitimate. Someone else was giving me the impression that it was a reproduction. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
