Why be serious ? You always have the chance to make the public smile. Here you see six
radiator emblems mounted on the car by factory. These are not accessory badges !
Five emblems were made in the nineteen - twenties in Germany resp. Great Britain. One in the States in 1969 / 71.
Why not put a bee, a devil, Batman or two scalawags (designed by Wilhelm Busch) on the radiator ?
Here are my personal favorites:
1. DIABOLO / GERMANY ( 1925 - 1927 )
 |
| even a devil can be sympathic |
 |
| 1926 PLUTO cyclecar radiator emblem |
 |
| Why not using a bee with sunglasses and wheels for a muscle car ? |
4. OMIKRON / GERMANY ( 1921 - 1925 )
 |
| 25 years before the first Batman comic ! |
5. PETER und MORITZ / GERMANY ( 1921 - 1925 )
 |
| 1921 radiator emblem showing two famous German guys |
6. MASCOTTE / UK ( 1919 - 1921 )
 |
| In spite of the attractive women the MASCOTTE cyclecar became not a bestseller |
And here is one more. You find this emblem on the hood of the GORDON KEEBLE (1963 -1967 ).
 |
| Why not put a turtle on a sports car with 4.6 L. V8 engine ! |
Thank you John for the advice !
