Hood ornament!

[NutmegCT]

A hood ornament - but from what make, model, and year?

And it's not a Rocket Olds!

'56 Plymouth Belvadere?

Yer gettin' there - but compare the wings (long vs short).

1955 Ford Fairlane?

 

[NutmegCT]

Ford Fairlane more likely. Still not *exactly* the same - maybe another year or model?

 

[NutmegCT]

hmmm - not an exact match -

1955 Ford Fairlane:

This is an old Mercury. Probable 1950s

I think there's a reason you had to say it's not an Olds jet. I think it's a GM jet. Early 50s Chevy?

Interesting how the jet airplane and rocket became symbolic of cars in the 1940s and 50s.
