Hey there Trenchmonkey, I really like that ornament. My research shows it is a '36 Hudson. The '34 had two versions with wings, but I think both were chrome.

Thanks for that, Ray...I'll change my notes it was a best guess as I shot a couple of dozen that morning.
Steady, if you like the aerodynamic influence, I think you might enjoy the '39 Delahaye. This vehicle is all curves. (Unfortunately I only have this front quarter shot to post at this time.)
I have little idea which cars they are off, i think the one in my first post was an Auburn.
We get hundreds of cars from the early part of the last century, for an Art Deco festival each year. And a great thing is the cars aren't just on static display.
that hood ornament that keeps showing up is actually a motometer, which is an early and primitive radiator temp gauge, and it was a popular option on many cars.
