I'm blind in one eye and therefore lack depth of field and peripheral vision. The hood ornament would help guide the auto into my garage. There isn't even a crease in the metal (or is it fiberglass) to help guide me. It's like shooting a rifle without a scope to aim. <BR/>Nice series, Crittoria.slimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02061336303839160271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4657984774021080564.post-54365081265664279832008-08-01T21:37:00.000-04:002008-08-01T21:37:00.000-04:00I suppose these sort of things are ripe for thieve...I suppose these sort of things are ripe for thieves too?<BR/><A HREF="http://sydneynearlydailyphot.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Sydney Daily Photo</A>Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06459567597804197579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4657984774021080564.post-68526429871368340742008-08-01T16:06:00.000-04:002008-08-01T16:06:00.000-04:00I am with you on hood ornaments.

Then they all began to disappear and nowadays you see nothing that looks anything like art on any automobile.<BR/><BR/>Modern cars have no class at all in spite of them costing more than homes used to cost. <BR/><BR/>I never see a car with a curtain to pull down to keep eyes from looking in. I never see little vases with water and flowers. I never see mohair upholstery or real leather.<BR/><BR/>Auto manufacturers, like GMC, should lose their shirts and their shorts too. Look at the metal that bears their name or initials. <BR/><BR/>They could do so much better. Your posts of cars is just an idea of what they could do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4657984774021080564.post-32890889790944306412008-08-01T14:26:00.000-04:002008-08-01T14:26:00.000-04:00How gorgeous this is and what a fab photo of it.
