Fred, the black block to which I'm referring is a spacer to keep the mast off the body. The head on look is chrome. I don't have a close up available.

I believe the factory cowl mount antenna mounts through a single shield-shaped black plastic block fairly low on the cowl. Yesterday's Radio repro's the piece as I recall. The 120 coupe looks like it has an upper and lower mount, but as West says it's hard to tell from the photo.

I believe that was a factory option. My lowly closed Eight has one. Look in the 48 option catalog on this site.

I support your giving your opinion, whether or not I agree with it, but please keep it informed. Koreans and Chinese are not the same. My experience is that there are crooks and honest people in all countries, including this one.

I wish I had a Packard with a foreign Fernandez et Darrin body!

Hyundai's Korean.

You could get a decent set of surrogate 3D coordinates off a scale model like the Hubley ones

the bird is a cormorant, or in the original heraldic crest, a "pelican in her piety"

The higher series ornaments were available as options on the lower22nd series cars. Grafting on an earlier version tends to look like the hack job it is

If you want to see how NOT to execute this theme, check out the current German design Rolls Royce front.

I think Alfa handled it better

the "standard" hood ornaments (I think) are
1) 8, 8 deluxe - streamlined lump
2) Super 8 - stylized donut chaser (look at earlier version of goddess to see origins)
3) Custom 8 - cormorant

But in practice you could option up. There is a 4th option, called "the Egyptian" that resembles 49 Ford, circular emblem in a mount.

the 3 standard ornaments are pretty common parts to find. Learn to spot the common aftermarket swan often advertised as a Packard ornament.

There's a lot of difference between a Su8 and Cu8.

it's a Custom 8. different grille, parking lights, side trim
