Car mascots, commonly called hood ornaments, were originally created to dress up the exposed radiator caps of cars in the early days of the automobile. Over the decades, the popularity of these mascots waned due to cost and later safety concerns, in favor of the more discreet badging we see today. Over two lushly-photographed volumes, Michael Furman’s Coachbuilt Press documents these small, but not insignificant embellishments to a car’s body.

I would like to sell both of these together. $150 including shipping in the continental usa. buyer pays paypal fees.
