Re: Ford Greyhound Hood Ornament
This is a original photo of my Dad's 28 Roadster taken in Irish Hills State Park in Michigan in the summer of 1935. If you look closely at the hood, you'll see the hood ornament is a Greyhound

Re: Ford Greyhound Hood Ornament
As others have said, very nice job!
I believe that particular Greyhound version is made to fit on a 1935 or 1936 Ford. Might want to post on the Early V8 forum also. - Last edited by Randy in ca; 12-14-2021 at 09:44 PM. |

Re: Ford Greyhound Hood Ornament
Not a 33 or 34. They were attached to the radiator cap.
