Leaping Lion hood ornament 

(from, I believe, an early 50s Monarch. And no I didn't just know that; I had to look it up)

  2. Violet,
    For me, this close-up spot provokes a virtual sensate feeling:

    The picture of the leaping auto hood ornament
    of a gleaming, leaping lion
    ensconced on the luxurious flowing lines
    of a classic automobile --
    the product of a truly artistic mind
    and the labour of an artisan's hands --
    provides a luscious feast for the eyes!

    Ahem ... that's my long-winded "Wow!" ;)

  3. Thanks so much, Melody and Peter.

    Peter, I think they toy with us when they design those hood ornaments - trying to push all the right buttons.
