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....
