Re: What Hood Ornament is seen on the 1933 Macauley Speedster ?

I should read my own library of Packard books more closely. First I checked the mascot book and came up empty.
However, the book titled "The Magnificent Packard Twelve of nineteen thirty four" has a clue. In the chapter devoted to the "Packard Custom Speedster" there are photos of each iteration of the car. The caption for the photo of Edward McCauley (sic) standing next to the car states that "E. M.'s special running dog radiator mascot is in place".
That's a good enough answer for me.
I've attached a couple of images of the book, including a photo of the final incarnation of the car. Note that with the creation of the 1935/1937 car the radiator mascot is now the LeBaron "ring of fire" style of hood ornament.
