Re: Why no hood ornament on this 1939 Packard 120 coupe?

Your perspicuous response is spot-on. As an unlearned Packard devotee who has never even ridden in one and will never own one--I'm an impoverished special education teacher--I'm always learning new things about Packards, e.g., that hood ornaments were optional. I had erroneously come to believe, based solely on photos, that the readily identifiable Packard hood-ornaments were perfunctory.

Even without a hood ornament, that Packard is beautiful.
