1937 Hudson Coupe Hood Ornament

ChargerHellcat

I'm looking for a replacement for the "Carrot" on my 1937 Hudson.     I was told that someone was making reproductions but can't seem to find the information.     Any help is appreciated!

I believe you're looking for a 1937 Terraplane, not Hudson, ornament.  The Hudson one looks different from the one you show.

Eshelmans make a plastic repro for this, but you probably should verify the overall length and diameter with them to be sure.  http://partsbyemc.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=97

I assume that you have the three thin pot metal chromed "wings" that fasten to the plastic.  If not, two of the three are now on Ebay  http://www.ebay.com/itm/1937-Hudson-Terraplane-Hood-Ornament-Chrome-Fins-/232232808197?hash=item3612276f05:g:rssAAOSw5cNYmlfa&vxp=mtr

Here's the 1937 Hudson ornament for reference:

Just for the record, the photo shown of the carrot is 1936 not '37.

For the record... ChargerHellcat posted a photo of a 1937 Terraplane Ornament.

The 1936 has two grooves for the Top "Wing" and the 1937 has 4 holes for the three fins and to mount to the base.
