The one that is on a Ford is a "Shay" a model A replica. I'd love one of those. I think.
Although would probably rather an original. And if I really wanted one bad enough, I would have one. It's priorities. Happy to share the sight, sound, and occasional ride in someone elses.

Remember how all cars had a hood ornament from the 1930 to 1950's. They were classic from greek methodology to Roman gods of speed. You can still buy these on Ebay. If anyone knows what type of car they were on please post.
Enjoy

If the Ford is an after-market, it must have been a popular one, or maybe an option.

Yes, I remember them well. They added a "touch of class" not unlike bow sprit carvings on old sailing ships.

You don't see them now because they would get ripped off, literally.
