The parts book is vague but as far as I can tell, 22nd and 23rd series ornaments would not fit 21st series cars or at least none of the part numbers for a couple of the assembles match. I suspect that the hood contour is a but different.

Randy, does the "Flying Goddess" ornament have holes in the back? I've seen aftermarket versions with wings swept back (both chrome and lit plastic) and very much like those of the 1952 Cormorant and they are still available new. Even without them, I suspect it's aftermarket.

RE: Winged lady hood ornament
JC Whitney used to sell a wide range of these aftermarket hood ornaments. Some were pretty close copies of originals. If you do an Ebay search for "flying hood ornament" or "winged hood ornament" you will probably find several exact matches to the one pictured. You'll also find quite a variety if you search for hood ornaments on Amazon including a "swan" that mimics the Cormorant. The Dart company made a reproduction of the 38-41 Packard goddess of speed in the 50's & 60's that I see once in a while .
