Swan Dive

This old hood ornament caught my eye. Was strangely elegant in a sea of rust and disrepair.

Thanks for looking and C&C totally welcome!

Thanks!

Can't say for sure, Ben - I think the swan caught my eye so much that I didn't pick up on the rest of the truck, ha.

Wow - I had almost forgotten about the era of hood ornaments. It's been a while and this one shows the age in many ways. Nicely seen.

I remember back in highschool some of the delinquents would steal the ornaments off the more expensive cars and then either wear them as a chain or sell them.

I doubt kids these days would even recognize one if they saw it.

Thanks Alan!

I am thinking this is about a 1950 Packard.

Nice BW here, Jeff. I don't know the vehicle type, and I'm OK with that.

Next trip out there I'll verify for ya, but knowing your knowledge of trucks I have little doubt!

Thanks Jeffrey!!
