The Adonis Hood Ornament that Mr. Cooper referred to stating that it was only used by Packard for one year in 1931 might be just a bit off the mark.

The credit is given to Edward McCartten as Mr. Cooper stated.

Patent for the Adonis hood ornament was applied for on November 7th, 1928 and the patent was issued on October 8th 1929.

Packard introduced the Adonis hood ornament in 1929 on the Sixth Series Packard and discontinued use of the Adonis hood ornament in December 1932.
