📖 An era of class and roaring engines

In postwar automotive design, every line had a meaning. Hood ornaments represented the impetus of technology, the pride of ownership, and the dynamism of industry. This particular mascot, with its red grooves and tapered head, echoes the profiles of American muscle cars or dream cars exhibited at General Motors shows. It's the perfect object to evoke an America of dreams, engines, and the road.
