  1. The hood ornament is actually a Cormorant and not a Swan. Hood ornaments were beautiful and ornate and defined a car especially when all the classics were manufactured in the 1930’s. When hood ornaments disappeared so did our ability to tell what make of car we were looking at. The cars of today are better than the ones of the 30’s,40’s and 50’s but they sure are not as much fun to own.

  2. Wow, thank you, I stand corrected. It is even more unique being a cormorant! It is so lovely, I wish cars were still as elegant!
