1938 Cadillac Fleetwood Coupe Hood Ornament Fine Art Print

Printed on fine art photo rag baryta paper.

Print does not include mat or frame.

This photo shows the hood ornament of a 1938 Cadillac Fleetwood Coupe. The ornament is a classic example of the "Flying Goddess" or "Winged Lady" mascot that adorned many Cadillacs from the 1930s through the 1950s.

The design is sleek and Art Deco, featuring a chrome-plated, streamlined body that represents a female figure. Her head is held high, and her arms and sweeping, stylized gown form the "wings," conveying a sense of speed, grace, and power. The most distinctive feature of this particular model is the transparent glass or Lucite "wing" that sits above the chrome figure, adding a unique, elegant touch that reflects the light. The vibrant red hood of the car provides a bold and rich background, making the polished chrome and translucent wing stand out beautifully. The ornament itself is a testament to the luxurious and artistic design philosophy of the pre-war era.
