I had never heard of Guy Motors till I visited the AACA Museum in Hershey PA on Monday. They have a display of hood ornaments/mascots that has some that were new to me. Guy Motors, a builder of mostly buses and lorries it seems, had a mascot that surprised me for a British company.

Wolverhampton was home to some pretty famous names, notably Sunbeam, Kieft, AJS, Norton, Villiers and Henry Meadows, where the Frisky was built. My father worked for Meadows, then Villiers, and ended up with Norton...
