randroid Posted July 19, 2007 Report Posted July 19, 2007 Gents, I think you may get a kick out of this. A dozen years ago I bought a '51 Dodge as a parts car, which actually became my daily driver for a few years, and before I gave it to a friend who wanted to do a resto I removed a few items, one of which was the hood ornament. Three years ago my Lady Wife bought a new 2004 Dodge Stratus, and guess what I did with some of the '51? http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f392/Randroid/DCP_0801.jpg Three generations have been born since this beauty was created, including Lady Lynn (who last year became a Grandmother). Fifty-three years later the Ram's Head symbol is still being used and just today some guy with a tricked-out Dodge truck passed her on I-25 then slowed to get a second look and flashed a big grin. Surprisingly, it's bikers who seem to notice and appreciate it most. -Randy Quote
Young Ed Posted July 19, 2007 Report Posted July 19, 2007 One day at the post office I ran into a guy who had the hood ornament and the silver streak from a mid 50s pontiac down the hood of his chevy truck. I thought it looked pretty cool and he was amazed I knew what it was from. Quote
