49ratfink ... You have a '36 Chevy hanging off the top of your head? chopper99 ... I'm thinkin' your correct! lowmater_tn ... That's a pic of a '37 Chevy hood ornament ... not a '48 ... Here's some more pics of '37 Chevrolet hood ornaments:
I'm wondering if the factory would have used cast brass in '37. Pot metal would be more like it. SOOOO if it's brass, maybe it's a early reproduction piece!!!
I kind of thought the same thing. If you look at the bottom of it where you bolt it on there are no holes in it.
