Bonnie and Clydes B-400 mystery hood ornament

Whatever happened to the Ma Barker Ford?

 

..... ???? Bttt....

 

Frank Hamer stood in front of the car shooting into the windshield, other guns used by the lawmen were a 12 gauge shotgun with 00 buck and a 30-06 BAR. I have to agree that the Whiskey pete car is not THEE car.

As far as the ornament, looks like a goose to me and was probable after market!

 

just trying to figure out the ornament...

Are we looking at A or B? I cant tell if the ornament has a splayed tail and/or splashing water, OR is it a plant in the background that is making an illusion?? What do you think?

 

Somebody still makes or is repoping those to this day.

 

This one from that site is close but then again........I dunno.

 

I'm guessing that's probably it.HRP

 

It looks close don't it.

 

I think its b. It looks like a cactus behind the back of it.

 

Cadillac/LaSalle had similar "Heron" mascot. Considering the car's era as well as the pic it's not hard to imagine ****gin one on to your old Ford back then. It could also have been aftermarket as suggested from a company simiar to if not JC Whitney. Here's a Cad/LaSalle, see if it matches better than the other ideas...

 

"her name was Magill, she called herself Lil, but everyone knew her as Nancy" Beetles 1968

 

Sorry 'bout that! I knew it was a '34, just didn't check my sources before typing that post. Just lazy, I guess.

 

heron vs. goose....im not convinced

 

Looks more like a skinny guy in drag .

 

Owch

there has to be another picture of that same car somewhere..maybe it will show a better shot of the ornament

 

Looks like this after market one....

 

Think we have a winner...

 

I've seen some pictures of her were she didnt look half bad. They said she had a double heart tattoo on her thigh that was used to positively ID her body. Now come on, a red headed tattooed chick whos toten around a sawed off Remington shot gun!!! whats not to dig about that? That all spells HOT in my book.

 

Im thinking bingo..dead ringer

now , who is the after market maker? and are they still available?

 

I don`t know the manufacturer , but it has a thermometer in its neck

 

Now we're talking!

 

Yeah,I think that's it,,,now if we only knew something about it.HRP

 

^^^^^^^I think you nailed it!!!!!!

 

THANK GOODNESS we have that figured out!! I can go on now!!
