I just can't say as I would want to look up a pigs *** when driving around. With all the fat cows waddling down the side walk there aint much worth looking at. Why spoil the occasional nice sighting with that?

Not original but this is what I will be using on my 49 F-1...



It was originally on a 54 Ford car.

Yep, I've got one on my '56. They are an original option and they are COOL. I got mine in '95 and I paid $400 for it then but I just had to have it.

You might search on FTE. A couple years ago someone on here was reproducing this bird. I can't remember if it was stainless or ???. My dad drove a 18 wheeler in the 50's and they were using the Bulldog and the bird with the colored plastic wings that could have a light in them.chuck

It was Danny D and he wanted $450 for them. I wonder if he is supplying Mid-Fifty.

Wondering if anyone has a badly pitted bid sitting around? These could easily be reproduced using casting. Of course that may diminish the rare factor but oh well. Didn't stop someone from repopping other parts and pieces. If someone has a bird in bad shape, drop me a line.
