I remember trying to help a friend drop a transmission from a Desoto. damn thing had more bolts than the Hoover Dam, at least it seemed that way on the cold ground that night so long ago.... great capture Bill the shot and the name brought back that event a long time ago
I love these old hood ornaments; some are worthy of being used as sculptures, like this one. Very beautiful indeed!
So graceful! The pink tones give it an almost ethereal look. Nicely done!
Both the object and the photo are beautiful.
Good capture !
Very nice indeed Bill and what a shame they are not allowed anymore.
a sleek beauty
Very sleek & slender. X
Winged ladies seem to have been the choice back than eh? Now it's just a boring badge of the manufacturers logo on the hood, if there is a hood badge at all, most are now on the grille. Modern day car designers could do a lot worst than have a crawl around these museums before they put pen to tablet.
I agree with MrsRatbag :)
What a lovely ornament :-) Beautifully captured too. :)
beautiful picture
A really wonderful shot, Bill! Ah, for those days to return - when cars were a work of art as well as a means to get around.. Grace, design, aerodynamics, and finished off with a sculpture like this - not just boxes with wheels. Beauty!
Not many of us left who remember the Desoto. This is a wonderful capture. Someone had to design and sculpt this. They really put the effort in back then. I have to agree with Rod.
Nice one Bill!
Style as cars ought to be... Beautiful example of hood apparel! More please mate! Rob
Superb capture my friend. God bless.
