other options that are a matter of personal taste: This car has the original standard hood ornament. There was optionally a cormorant, a stylized goddess with a wheel (the "donut pusher"), and a relatively rare disk that looks like a 49-50 Ford one, called "the Egyptian. The first two are pretty common. Wheel trim rings were another common accessory. There are auxilary bumper guards that are a more polarizing choice. Your front bumper is the "closed mouth" version - you will see many cars with an open space in the lower middle. This is another reason I suspect your car is a late build. Try reaching over the outside of the glove box liner - sometimes the original build sheet is there!
