Sun Yuchen is a liar, thief, charlatan, and all around cunt. But I don't need to tell you that. Find me at Hive, where we are glad to be rid of him and all of his fake followers, sockpuppets, and thieves.

Yep, it occurred to me after I took these pictures that most people today don't see them and they become forgotten. The Pontiac was in very good shape for a 65 year old car!

That cracked orange chieftain head is brilliant. The designer of that ornament is a genius.

If you check out the Marland Grove link at the bottom, you can see that actually wasn't by design, but it still looks nice in the right light.

Yeah, you're right. I think the cracks made it look only much cooler though refracting the light within it.

The charm of the design and craftmanship of vintage cars is unique. When art and utility goes together like this, it is perfect

Nice hood ornaments @pfunk, I work at a car lot in Salt Lake City Ut and when we get a car that has ornaments like these we have to park it in the back so the ornament doesn't get stolen.

Thats a beautiful car and a great article. This got me thinking, its not just hood ornaments, cars today don't have the beautiful chrome and stainless steel accents either. Sadly cars today are just metal and plastic, the soul is gone.

Thanks timbot606. I think chrome on today's cars has to be judiciously used. That might just be because it's expensive to properly use it without it looking cheap though.
Ornamentation has gone by the wayside everywhere. Just compare the furniture at an antique store to the stuff at Ikea. In architecture it is most pronounced, and easy to see unless you live in a new suburban city. Old houses and buildings, even the most basic and utilitarian ones, used to have some amount of ornamentation and craftsmanship put into them.
