That S&S hood ornament is SWEET. I had no idea they used to put their own logos on to coaches...other than Victoria and such. VERY cool. Did the molding come with your coach or did you add that yourself?
I've actually changed a cadillac hood ornament. My first caddy a 79 Eldorado was a rescue from a VERY unpleasant side of town, where it was NOT being treated well. My brother in law went to the dealership and bought the biggest ornament they made at the time. I don't have it handy to measure it, but it's easily 4 inches across. I don't remember if there was a problem with the base mounting on or not, that was back in 87.
I see the hood on yours seems to have the same center line as mine. I can't tell if the mount is shorter in the back than it is in the front. It looks like it might be, but it's hard to tell from that picture. Pity the ornament doesn't have the wreath...I'm not ruling it out, but let me see what else turns up this week. At this point ANY ornament is better than no ornament and 20 bucks (plus shipping) certainly appeals to the cheap bastard in me.
