We saw many gorgeous cars
A unique little Art Deco sculpture: this scandalously nude woman was placed onto the hood as the personal mascot for a century-old Rolls Royce, well before today's official winged figurine .
The winged hood ornament for a 1930 Isotta-Fraschini 8A, which is very similar to the Packard mascot.
The streamlined crane of a 1929 Hispano-Suiza H6B Cabriolet de Ville.
The ferocious badge of a 1972 Lamborghini Miura SV.
The well-known flag of the 1978 Lancia Sibilo Bertone Coup?.
Of course, a flying B for Bentley.
And a mid-century logotype for a 1954 Siata 208S Spider.
Elegant typography for the 1956 Jaguar XKSS Spider.
1957 Porsche 356A Speedster, with its familiar seal.
A warning sign: 1965 AC Cars Cobra 289.
A trident in burning chrome (from Maserati).
The 1963 Lamborghini 350 GTV Coupe? is signed by its creator in chrome.
Two in one: the hood ornament ornament on the 1931 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Gran Sport Zagato also functions as a thermometer.
Probably the most-recognizable hood ornament of all: the "Spirit of Ecstasy," also known as The Flying Lady, who sits atop the Rolls Royce, of course.
Another Bentley B ornament, but with alternate wing orientation.
1958 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible, with an unusual concave seal.
The blocky, Bauhaus-esque ornament of a pre-War German rigour, from Auto Union.
The strange logotype for the most amazing Lamborghini ever produced.
The Corvette's streamlined, visually aggressive badge.
