For Sale Formal Hood ornament

[Mr C]

I was surfing around and came across this...not mine, but I thought I'd post it.

It's a used one, but they're getting tough to find with good colour to them.

Thanks Mr C.!

I bought it for $30.

Good for you! Glad I could help. I figured "Hey, there's normally always a Formal guy looking for one of these".

I offered him $20 and he countered with $30.....SOLD!

Thanks again!

Not a bad deal....

They are extremely hard to find. The red paint completely fades to a clear color and the emblem inserts fall off eventually. Seem to me that Chrysler had some problems during the Formal years with inferior acrylic and plastic and adhesives. T&T steering wheels, hood ornaments and 78 wiper cams are susceptible to cracking, fading, or fall off.

That you scoffed up a NOS one some time back.

That one went on the NYB. This one is going on the Newport.

Depending on how this one looks (how much fade on the red) I may be still looking for another NOS one.
