NOTHING DEFINED CADILLAC IN THE 1970'S AS THEIR STUNNING HOOD ORNAMENTS, AS FIRST INTRODUCED ON THE 1971 ELDORADO. BOLD, BRASH, ELEGANT...AT THE END OF THE MASSIVE HOOD. TO SEE A 1970'S CADILLAC WITHOUT ONE IS LIKE A KING WITHOUT A CROWN....
DESCRIPTION: THIS IS A PRESENTABLE HOOD ORNAMENT ASSEMBLY. IT IS UNIQUE TO THE 1971-72 ELDORADO MODEL YEAR (FOR SEVERAL REASONS), WHICH MAKES IT VERY HARD TO FIND - SO IF YOU HAVE A 1973-78 ELDORADO THEN CHECK OUT MY OTHER LISTINGS OR CONTACT ME.
CONDITION: THIS ASSEMBLY IS IN THE ZONE OF "GOOD CONDITION" (WHICH I DON'T CONSIDER TO BE "EXCELLENT" NOR "VERY GOOD"). THE STAND-UP EMBLEM'S CHROME IS RELATIVELY SHINY, ALTHOUGH IT DOES HAVE A FAIR AMOUNT OF THE BLACK MICRODOTS CALLED "CHROME PEPPERING". NO PITS. ON THE REAR SIDE (RIGHT WREATH ARM) THERE ARE INEXPLICABLE TINY HOLES THAT LOOK LIKE THEY WERE MADE WITH A PUSH PIN. ODD...BUT AT LEAST THEY DON'T FACE FORWARD. THE CHROME ON THE BASE HAS AN "OK" SHINE AFTER 55 YEARS BUT IT'S SOMEWHAT DIMMED BY "BLACK PEPPERING DOTS" AS WELL - A CHROME AGE CHARACTERISTIC. ADDITIONALLY IT HAS ABOUT 12 RANDOM SMALL "PINHEAD PITS" IN THE BASE BODY. FUNCTIONALLY THE SPRING ACTION WORKS FINE, IT MOVES AS IT SHOULD. BOTH MOUNTING STUDS ARE PRESENT AND ARE STRONG -- I AM INCLUDING 2 NEW CUTTING NUTS TO HELP WITH YOUR INSTALLATION.
WHEN MOUNTED ON THE CAR IT WILL LOOK BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL. OVERALL THIS IS A DECENT BUDGET-GRADE SURVIVOR ASSEMBLY IN THE "GOOD CONDITION" RANGE. IT'S A CORRECT RARE EARLY VERSION (ONLY FITS 1971-72 ELDORADO) TOO.....HARD TO FIND!
