Hello all, my Betty needs a hood ornament. She's a 96 RMW if anyone has any leads on one it would be greatly appreciated.
 
Watch out the sedan and station wagon hood ornaments are different. They look the same but the bases are different to account for the different slopes of the hood between the wagon and the sedan. Putting the sedan hood ornament on a wagon will result in the ornament not being perpendicular.

Have you found what you were looking for? I had bought a very nice spare for mine, but decided against installing it as the original still looks good.

Thank you, I did notice there is a difference in the base, my plan was just take the center out, I have the metal but the decal disappeared.

Thank you Mr. Ayilar, I did find something, it's not perfect but it works. I dug out the center and reglued to my base.

I would be interested in the 96 hood ornament for my wagon if you still have it.
