The “Goddess of Speed” Packard hood ornament

A beautiful 1930’s Packard at the car show had this amazing hood ornament. That’s Jerry on the right in the background, talking to the owner. These classic car buffs love their cars!

Incredible hood ornament.

Looks like it was quite a good turnout - cars were so much more interesting back then :)

Automobiles were pieces of art back then in the 30's...beautiful!

Beautiful focus on the ornament.

been to an antique car show before, and yes, owners treat theirs like the would their babies, almost surreal. i learned all about the right f stop for shallow dof with the jaguar bonnet ornament. i like this Packard goddess!
