Dual Hood Ornaments


One thing missing from cars nowadays are hood ornaments ... back in the day, cars had some pretty interesting ones. The ones pictured above are from a 1955(?) Chevrolet Bel-Air. It reminds me of two ramjet air intakes. Maybe the car designers thought it make the car look faster.

Wow! Great choice, the sepia. It emphazises the curves and the shininess (is that a word?).
I am sure it make them go faster. That or if it's painted red.
