Non stock hood ornament?

Does anyone have anything? Pics?

My '79 Honcho has an airplane from a '56 Chevy. It fits the hood really well; it compliments the shape. Especially with the "pignose" grill. We had the same kind on our '78 Chief for years, but eventually exchanged it for a MACK truck bulldog. The '78 Chief washed away back in '06, but i still have its old '56 Chevy airplane just waiting to go on either the '75 or the '91 Grand.

However the wife is an obstacle. She thinks it looks "tacky"

(I would totally put this airplane on my Chevette, but it takes up half the hood)

I've been looking around for the Mad Mallard from Convoy and Death Proof for awhile myself as a hood ornament and this is as close as I can find. Maybe it helps?

I picked this one up off ebay for my old '89. It originally came off an AMC Concord IIRC.

WILSON!!! that too cool!

And the duck is really neat! anyone have anything like this on their rig?

I have an old AMC ornament from an early 80s Eagle that i thought of putting on the '91 Grand, but so much of the '91 is non-AMC that i couldnt bring myself to do it. But the AMC ornament looks great!!! the stock "Jeep" ornament is too bland

In my collection I have various AMC, Mopar and odd ones. I have the rearing horse off my Dad's old truck (Trailboss) and a Mack bulldog. I have a plane (I think from my '55 Pontiac), a train and an automobile. At least one bullseye.

If you can't make it better why waste your time. No use repeating the orignal mistakes. I'm to old to push it that's why.

gold miner

I've got a gold miner on mine. It came off my grandpa's '64 j-3000 thrift side. It sat on my grandma's dresser after grandpa died until she saw my jeep truck and decided I should have it. My uncle also had one on his '76 cj-5 golden eagle.
