casper50 Posted January 30, 2014 Report Posted January 30, 2014 Anyone know if he Desoto Flying Lady hood ornament for 46-48 will fit the same year Dodge? Quote
desoto1939 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Posted January 31, 2014 I have a 39 Desoto and since the Desoto had the bigger engine compartment I do not think they can be swapped unless you do some major modifications. If you have a very used Desoto flying lady then you might try modifiying one but why waste a good hood ornament. I say NO. Rich Hartung Desoto1939@aol.com Quote
Frank Elder Posted January 31, 2014 Report Posted January 31, 2014 The curvature looks to be very close........2 choices here, make the lady fit the hood or visa versa. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Posted January 31, 2014 Looks like it might be close to a fit. Quote
casper50 Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Posted January 31, 2014 I was thinking the same thing. Just hoped someone knew before I bought one. Thanks Quote
Dan Hiebert Posted January 31, 2014 Report Posted January 31, 2014 The Dodge has a clamshell hood and the Ram attaches between the hood panels. The DeSoto has an alligator hood that the Lady attaches directly to - but I don't know if there's a difference in the radius of the nose. If it's the same, no problem, if its different, I'll bet its close enough to overcome without much effort. Quote
casper50 Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Posted January 31, 2014 the lady looks so much better than the ram. lol Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted January 31, 2014 Report Posted January 31, 2014 The lucite DeSoto lady looks even better-especially lit up. But extremely hard to find. Quote
