Thanks Randy

As Howard posted out either the pictured standard "Bail" type or the optional "Goddess" are correct. I prefer the "Bail" type as I think it is more in keeping with the overall design of the car. I had one on my 115C.

Go with the bail, per JWL. Less is more. That, and anything more overpowers the car, esp. the relatively small junior six. The cormorant and flying lady were mainly dealer options to enhance their profit margins.
The best-looking cars invariably have the least gewgaws.

When I got my 1946 Deluxe last winter, I promptly and without regret removed the (incorrect) cormorant and replaced it with the post-war stylized Goddess of Speed. Oddly, I didn't like that ornament formerly but it has grown on me over the decades.

If you're not having fun, maybe it's your own damned fault.

My 37 - 115C Sedan came with the ball hood ornament but I changed it out for what I was told was the correct for the year Goddess. Purchased it at the Packard Annual in Pontiac, MI a few years ago.

If the car was sitting on the dealer lot in 1938 they would put whatever they had to sell the car. So yes, you were told the wrong information, but I think the 38 ornament in better looking.
