EYES WIDE SHUT from A corner of Utopia, United Kingdom

Polished chrome, lovingly buffed hood emblem, a sea of lustrous paintwork which reflects the pride of a dutiful owner, and memories of days when workmanship took pride of place.

The splash of colour works really nicely

Ronnie 2¢ from London, United Kingdom

This tempting little series has me trying to figure what year the Durant is . . pre-1930?

28 Dec 2008 8:18pm

@Ronnie 2¢: According to a little WEB research, the Durant Motors Corporation was in business from 1921 to 1932 (or 1934, depending on source) when it was declared bankrupt.

This is a fabulous hood ornament. Those were the days...heavy chrome and style in creating car decorations! Very nice shot.
