Strength on the Hood

A love for the Pontiac Hood Mascot

The first time a Pontiac hood mascot came into the camera's view was at the Bishop, California October Fall Colors Car Show. It was a beauty. Since then, every Pontiac Hood Mascot we come across, the camera captures. The Pontiac Hood Mascot stands strong. It is fierce, facing the wind, driving down the road, lining the parking lots so everyone can enjoy the history of this striking emblem. Check out the Pontiac Collection at car-tografi, where it all about the part.

The Archer

Hood Mascots

Tag teaming with car-tografi for a double play on Hood Mascots.

Sleek, streamlined, modern, the soul of the classic ride was the hood mascots, ornaments, radiator caps. Their engineering was not a bonus but an important part of the creative processes; these automotive pieces of art, molded for their strength and beauty, took to the road to project prestige.

The archer took aim on the Pierce-Arrow. Two versions of the archer, one helmeted and the other Rodin inspired, showcased the history of the 1930’s luxury automobile. Tag teaming with car-tografi to show off a few of our photographs from car shows and the Nethercutt Museum. If you get the chance, the Nethercutt is an amazing automotive find. Find out more at car-tografi, where it is all about the parts.

Tale of two car shows

The Classic Auto Show

The Classic Auto Show, March 2019 was a complete change from the previous two shows at the Los Angeles Convention Center, which was an inside venue. The new arena for the Classic Auto Show was the OC Fairgrounds, which is both an outside and an inside venue, giving this year show a different ambiance.  Looking forward to seeing how this classic car show develops. Photographs from The Classic Auto Show is in the GALLERY.

The Hispano Suiza

Sometimes loosing photos is worth it. The Hispano Suiza stork was one of the photos lost in the transition to the new format, showcasing it to feature the mascot radiator cap at car-togarfi, where it is all about the parts. The Ranchero & the blue Q is all about the ride where car-tografi is all about the parts taken from car shows where the focus is on the beauty that complements the ride. Check it out.
