This is on a Packard 526, circa 1928. But this hood ornament doesn't seem right. Anybody seen it before?

O I know what that is.

It's what came to be known as the "Crestfallen Cormorant" which was proposed for the Clipper concept car which didn't go into production until 1940. After 12 years, hood ornament designed changed significantly and it was (obviously) moth-balled.

What the hell is that?

No.
Is it an ornament or rather an omen?

There were a lot of aftermarket designs - are there any markings underneath?

Definitely an aftermarket, cheap dress-up item auto supply and outfits like Western Auto and J. C. Whitney sold then. Folks liked to personalize their cars back then even if it was just some thing like this.

Proud 1953 Clipper Deluxe owner. Thinking about my next Packard, want a Clipper Deluxe Eight, manual shift with overdrive.

I don't have a hood ornament collection but having this one might incite me to begin a collection of oddities! It has kind of grown on me since I first saw the photo yesterday.
