That's why the NorCal region of PAC calls their newsletter The Pious Pelican. I was it's editor for, I believe, about seven years but many years ago.

Am I the only person who sees the subtle humor in some of these hood ornaments?
For example the Rolls-Royce hood ornament is a high priced prostitute pulling up her bloomers, and the Packard hood ornament a bird throwing up.

Yes, there is a bit of subtle humor in a good many hood ornaments in that era.
Mention of a pelican always brings this verse to mind: A Wonderful Bird is The Pelican By Dixon Lanier Merritt A Wonderful Bird is The Pelican His bill can hold more than his belican He can take in his beak Food enough for a week But I'm damned if I can see how the helican. Hehehehe.... Steve
