During the clean out of an estate sale, I located in the garage an authentic, original 1955-1956 Pontiac hood ornament. I am not an appraiser or collector, but with some research I was able to determine that this iconic "Jet Plane" mascot represents the height of mid-century American automotive styling. Designed during the transition into the Space Age, it features a sleek, streamlined jet fuselage with swept-back wings, famously topped with the stylized profile of Chief Pontiac. This is not a modern reproduction; it is a genuine period piece cast in heavy pot metal with a chrome finish. The vehicle that this piece will compliment is 1955 & 1956 Pontiac (Star Chief, Chieftain, 860, 870 models). The condition of the piece is a beautiful survivor of a bygone era with a natural vintage patina that proves its authenticity. This piece would be an excellent addition for a classic Pontiac restoration, a "Rat Rod" project, or as a standout display piece for any automobilia collector.
