Joe, their theme song went something like: "If you go out in the woods today you better not go alone...for today is the day the teddy bears have their picnic..." I'm fine, just fine. Now, where is my secret decoder ring? It was just here a little while ago.

Apparently the hood ornament has survived. I photographed it at a flea market vendor at Hershey this past year (2022). The vendor knew what he had, and I would have had to sell two cars in order to make its purchase.

It wouldn't surprise me to learn that the original was made by someone in the shop as a joke. Otherwise, you would think it would appear in more than just one photo shoot.

It looks like a novelty item. There was a cartoon character called Bonzo Dog and they were selling hood ornaments. Back in those days we actually had winters with enough snow for dog sled races as well. Today our winters are like Tennessee 60 years ago.
