Miniature Works of Art

I went to a car show last weekend at Balboa Park.  The models ran the gamut from 1917 Fords to 2010 Mustangs, Camaros and Challengers.  While it was fun to look at all of the cars, I became enamored with the hood ornaments on the 40s and 50s models.  I realize that most of today's sleek designs are not conducive to sporting a little statuette on the hood, but these little pieces of art were the hit of the show for me.
