They sure don't make them like they used to... This is a hood ornament from a 1933 Packard, every year they seemed to have changed the design just a bit. It's official name was the Goddess of speed, but it was also known as the Donut Chaser, as the wheel looks like a donut.

It was a good name for it actually, because in an accident these heavy ornaments were known to fly off the car in some direction and injure people. It's one of the reasons they stopped using them, as the cars got faster. As time went by, the hood ornament became a smaller and smaller, later on being attached via a spring to keep people from stealing them.

My name is Mike Savad, I create one of a kind images. Photo realistic, is what people think of first. I specialize in job themes, such as Pharmacist, Doctor, Firemen, Lawyer, etc. Steampunk is another favorite. I'm certain you will find something that you will like. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell and Paintings from the time of the Renaissance. Be sure to visit my Scene in Color section. I expertly restore and colorize black and white images. See the past come alive with color. Each image is painstakingly cleaned and repaired, colors are researched and shaded in. Images are designed to coordinate with the rest of my collection. The past was far more colorful than you would have imagined. Want something fun to do? Sometimes I hide...
