Backed when some things were designed so beautifully, you forgot to see the rest of the car.

1933 Cadillac V16

Golden Elegance!

Fitted exclusively on low production Cadillac V16 models, the Nude Winged Goddess hood mascot was a product of the Ternstedt Manufacturing Division of GM's Body by Fisher, adding magnificent style and class to top-of-the-line Cadillacs. Often referred to as “Flying Goddess,” the timeless design of this ornament was granted a Design Patent on May 29, 1934.  As noted in the patent paperwork, Chris J. Klein and John R. Morgan are the credited designers of this iconic figure.  The listing describes the goddess as having a “perfectly erect head to give the fanciful female figure an austere dignity.”

1933 Packard Super Eight

‍Chromed Goddess

Taking flight from the grille of a 1933 Packard Super Eight, the chromed Goddess of Speed couldn’t help but be noticed.  Graceful, dramatic, and showy, her destiny was to lead, her message, luxury and momentum. This shinning winged beauty is prized by collectors today.
