I remember in the 90's every car and truck had a hood ornament displaying the logo of the manufacturer. Sitting proud and majestic on the end of the hood.

Today, it's just little emblems on the grill.


What happened to Shiny chrome hood ornaments? Why did they go away?

Bart Simpson kept stealing them.

Seriously, they're prone to damage or theft more so than any other part. It's an ornamental item that serves no other purpose than decoration, while providing nothing beneficial to the operation of the vehicle. Just more drag and another shiny blob on the hood.

We work in the dark to serve the light.

They got too mainstream.

Safety issue, by law the ornaments had to be bendable and the only ones that were weren't anything to write home about. They eventually just went away.

Major props to my hommie Sheeef. He made Recon possible for me. Long time recovering emails and passwords. And it was his. lol.

LOL! I remember those. It's because kids would take them off.
I used to do that when i was 14-16 years old. Made them into necklaces and/or sold them for good money.

I thought jaguar always put hood ornaments on their cars.

I don't really like them much anyway.
