These mascots belong to which cars? Just marques

neilshouse · May 11, 2011, 02:26:49 AM

8g, I think, is the Icon CJ3B.

Wendax · May 11, 2011, 02:33:12 AM

8e is an accessory part. It is called Wirbulator and was made between 1952 and 1958. Its main task, besides being decorative, was to keep insects, dust and snow away from the windshield.

It is sitting on top of a 1957 Vauxhall hood ornament.

8d is from the Honda Element Dog Friendly Concept

BTW, is there an 8a?

Some clues:
b. Posies Aeroliner Sport Ken Fenical U.S.A. 2006 (Tom_I)
c. Rover, aftermarket (Tom_I)
d. Honda Element Dog Friendly Concept (Wendax)
e. Vauxhall 1957 (Wendax)
f. Ford V8 Hot Rods (Tackitt)
g. Icon CJ3B (neilshouse)

I'm sure that C (the boxer) is an aftermarket mascot, but it looks to be mounted on a radiator cap from a Rover (P3 or earlier), the plain type, without the Viking's head.

Oguerrerob · June 01, 2011, 12:21:26 PM

You're absolutely right!!!

Oguerrerob · June 05, 2011, 02:44:49 PM

Even More Clues:
b: This car's original mascot
f: Aftermarket mascot specially for this car

Tom_I · June 05, 2011, 04:12:46 PM

I've found another example of 8f, but no further information. Can anyone identify the car from this detail?

Tom_I · June 05, 2011, 05:39:11 PM

...And eventually found 8b, which is the mascot on an Aeroliner Sport, made by Posies Inc. Rods & Customs, of Hummelstown, Pennsylvania.

Oguerrerob · June 05, 2011, 07:01:15 PM

8b. Correct. Posies Aeroliner Sport Ken Fenical U.S.A. 2006
8f. As I wrote before as a clue, it's an aftermarket mascot. My source says that it belongs more to a generic kind of car than an specific model. (Last clue)

Tackitt · June 05, 2011, 08:43:06 PM

8f would be V8 as in Ford V8?

Oguerrerob · June 05, 2011, 09:36:36 PM

That's it. It's commonly use in Ford V8 Hot Rods

Oguerrerob · June 05, 2011, 10:31:54 PM

I've just found another source that claims 8f as Ford V8 Sportsman Mascot
