Title: 1949 Cadillac hood ornament
Post by: C. Louderback on May 22, 2007, 06:17:24 AM
Hello everyone,

I had a question regarding the hood ornament on my wifes 49 cadillac. It is made of a plastic, im assuming some sort of lucite , i havent seen any other 49 cad's with this, there all metal, was this a cheap alternative cadillac came up with at some point? any help would be great!

Thank you,

C. Louderback

Never heard of it, but wouldn't mind a picture for inclusion with other "fake" Cadillac mascots and crests in the club's "Cadillac Database":
