What is the correct radiator/hood ornament for this vehicle? Would it be the Comorant or the Pelican? Thanks, John Attach file:   (51.65 KB) Posted on: 2013/7/18 18:58

In the language of Ancient Heraldry, the Crest is described as......."Gules, a cross lozengy between 4 roses or. A Pelican in her piety" The full explanation is shown on this Packard Advertisement. http://www.lov2xlr8.no/brochures/packard/bilder/28p.jpg Sounds like it's a Pelican best regards Peter Toet Posted on: 2013/7/18 22:23
	I like people, Packards and old motorbikes
