Post your Hood Ornaments/Logos

[Dangerspouse]

Anyone finding themselves at the top of New Jersey (USA) would probably enjoy a visit to Space Farm. It's not, as the name might seem, a farm that grows astronauts, but rather a combination museum and wild game preserve owned and operated for several generations of the Space family. The museum portion is divided up into a number of large structures, each covering their own speciality. You'll read this same paragraph in several forums where I've posted pictures relevant to the folder's theme.


These are all from cars in any of the 3 car museum sections:

A 1928 Marmon "Teddy Rooseveldt"...for obvious reasons:

Then you would adore this place. I think one of the very few items this facility does not have hidden away somewhere is a duster

Here ya go, Pup!

This is Rangle, a Harris Hawk works with Masters of the Skies. At least he landed on my SUV which is in need of a paint job. :beguiled: Best looking hood ornament I've ever had!

Fiat 500 Abarth. Not sure why the owner removed the chrome trim that surrounded the logo and the slot on the grille, looks unfinished.

Perhaps the owner removed the chrome trim to increase the air flow though the radiator. I know that I had to work the radiator over on my early Triumph Spitfire to get more air in during the summer heat in Fresno, California (boy that was the good old days).

Being a Fiat I'd guess those parts fell off.

:encouragement:! Now there's a good guess.

Could be, makes sense. Sometimes too, owners like to "black out" their cars and remove badging. What might have looked better is to have the plastichrome black chromed and reapplied.

Yes the fad is murdering out cars, black black & more black. I came close to buying a Fiat 500 Abarth. Fine driving car, but it was only a five speed & really needed sixth gear. Plus it was a Fiat & I remember Fiats of old. A friend bought an Abarth for his wife & he likes it. I should check in with him to see if he still has it & how the reliability has been.

Wow, neat Abarth pictures Chuck. I couldn't see much at all inside of the one I saw because the windows were so heavily tinted.

Fiat now sells only ONE model in the U.S., the 500X. It's a 4-Door SUV.
