48 hood ornament plastic

[p15-1948]

Anyone re-popping these? I sure need a nice one.

Thanks

[48P15Annie]

Heh, I could use one too

I want to light mine up. -nod nod-

[BobT-47P15]

There have been some on ebay, in colors even, but I think they are solid

and not hollow like the originals.

The guy I got mine from a while back indicated he

was not making any more........he was selling them for around $125.

They were clear plastic and hollow.

I looked on ebay and don't see any of those for sale right now.

If you have an old plastic that isn't too totally bad, they can be

polished some and made to look a bit better.

Lighting an ornament up is pretty simple. They did offer an accessory light kit in the

old days, but you can do what greg g did - I believe he used a side marker light

from the auto supply.

they use to be a guy in CT that restored them can't remember his name not even sure he is still alive maybe someone might know him he did a really nice job he was able to replace missing parts and match the colors

I believe Frank M. from Omaha has a son who makes them, shoot him a PM and see.

Although it might be just the light kit......I am not sure.

i have a few repro ornaments if you are interested.

Ply Do has them

I've got one spectacular NOS one, still in the box and plastic wrap. Rock solid and perfect in every manor. If interested....

Got the NOS piece from SKrambler, really nice.

they are nice lighted, used two small blade bulbs and sockets wired in series.

for the record and maybe for you to copy..here is an original light bulb bracket for the P15 hood ornament..

The lighted hood ornament looks really cool! Unfortunately I have a Dodge. Has anyone ever seen a light up rams head? I doubt it was a factory option, but perhaps one existed on the aftermarket. Any body have one?

Couldn't a two-piece mold be made of the ram's head and then cast in Lucite w/ a light behind? I simply don't know, but may be similar to the lighted Chief Pontiac.

Can't recall that I've ever seen a plastic ornament for the D24.

Would be kinda cool, though.

The ball of invention is in your court.

Well that NOS piece was so nice I ended up using a really nice used piece.  Couldn't stand to put the NOS piece on the car....

be careful, as some of the re-pops are solid acrylic and will not support the lighting fixture that is optional for these hoods.  read the ad and if in question, drop them a line to be sure prior to bidding

[jiffyjet1011]

his are hollow and allow the light.
