    I have a couple of Back Window Heads (pics below) and was wondering what the history of these are? I have an old issue of Hot Rod DeLuxe that shows Mike Ness's '54 Chevy with one of these in his back window (his is a leopard head). I have rarely seen these in cars and I was wondering if it is actually something that people did back in the day. Anyone know what they're worth?

    Thank's for the info.

    I used to have one when I was a kid. It was the Bengal tiger one. Never really knew what it was. Mine was a hard but flexible plastic.

    Looks like old Palmer model kits from the 50's. They did a full line. I have some.

    Those would rule in my African hunting lodge themed Sedan.......other than a midget dressed like Hadji from Johnny Quest they are the only parts I'm missing.
     
  9. You get the heads, I'll supply the midget.
     
  10. I don't ever wanna see "head" and "midget" in the same sentence on here ever again. I'm still recovering from man-butt bongos...:eek:

    These are also a hard flexible plastic. From what I know these were bought in a joke shop by my Grandfather in the '50's -'60's.
