Pontiac Hood Ornaments
Pontiac hood ornaments are typcially characterized by a running Indian brave or just his face on stylized later models. The native is Chief Pontiac of the Ottawa Indian tribe (from the Great Lakes area of the US), hence the name of the auto company (info courtesy of Chris S).
- Late 30s-40s: Indian brave face on a locomotive
- early 50s: Indian face, Indian face on jetplane mid 50s: jetfighter
