I want to take a moment and discuss and admire hood ornaments from the mid to late 30’s through the 40’s. Such style, you just don’t see anymore. Swift and smooth, though still. While I am sticking with this time period of the late 30’s through the 40’s, the 50’s can also be included in the “cool hood ornament” and styling period. While this level of craftsmanship can’t be found these days, you CAN  find LOTS more of these awesome hood ornament diagrams by doing a google word search: classic car hood ornaments diagram. Also, to whom ever made these perfect diagrams, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! :)
