The Indian Pontiac was the inspiration for over forty different indian mascots, starting in 1926 with an indian head radiator cap and ending in 1955 with a plastic head inserted in front of an airplane.
PONTIAC is the only American carmaker to use the same symbol over such a long period. The chief was used on one of the Pontiac models every year for thirty years !

Claus,
ReplyDeleteYour posted picture of your "choice of PONTIAC mascots" is fantastic and a brilliant blend of 2- and 3-dimensional artifacts. The badge display with auto manufacturer ads is a very nice, artistic and professional way to
exhibit them.
Thank you for your compliments as I always need a lot of time for research to present an emblem.
