Ford Hood Ornaments

There are some Ford Mustang hood ornaments manufactured by Gem that look pretty original. JC Whitney sells aftermarket Ford logo emblems also. Ford hood ornaments are characterized by:

  • Early 1930s may have greyhound rad cap
  • 1930s: usually had a stylized V8 symbol on it and feather style wings
  • early 40s to late 40s: stylized locomotives
  • late 40s/early 50s: round chrome with a clear plastic mohawk
  • early 50s: either an eagle or a stylized plane
  • mid 50s: stylized jet plane
