There have been endless debates on the cormorant vs pelican issue. The Packard Motor Car Company has been documented using both terms over the years. The bird perched on the top of the Packard family crest is supposedly a pelican. It isn't a swan.

Based on my upbringing on the West Coast, the hood ornament sure doesn't look like a pelican (at least not a Pacific Brown Pelican). I'm in the Cormorant camp as apparently is the PAC (based on the name of their publication).
