Display car art and gifts

Above is a photo of an "original" McDonalds drive-in hamburger shop circa 1960.

Scroll down to see my online STORE and all car-related creations below that.

If dimensions are listed for an item, they will be: width (left t0 right ) x height (top to bottom) x depth.(front to back) in inches. [I know, they should be metric, but the US is a backward country] All items, except those designed to be hung on a wall, have felt glued to the bottom so that they will not scratch the surface they are placed on.

MY DISPLAY : Items I have created

Below are all of my car-related creations, both For Sale and Not For Sale. Above is my on-line store. You may purchase available items there via PayPal. I also enjoy doing custom commissions - if you have a particular make/model that you wish to have a memorabilia of (for yourself or as a gift), please feel free to email me at burt.breedlove@yahoo.com and tell me of your interest. I will get back to you to discuss it. If convenient, leave a phone number.

A word about parts identification: I collect primarily pre-1960 ornaments and emblems. My personal recollection of these items begins in the mid-1950s. For most I have to rely on what others have posted on internet sites. I research as thoroughly as internet content allows at a given time. When I come across additional info I make corrections as warranted. If you believe that I have something misidentified as to make or year, please email me along with the basis of your ID.

Hood Ornaments

Small Ornaments

These small, stand-up hood ornaments are fun and quick to do mountings for. Some I turn on the lathe; others I shape with table saw, band saw, miter saw and belt sander.

Large Ornaments

These items can be complex and time consuming. Just fitting the base to the contour of the piece takes some time. I try to create a different and unique mounting for each one, hopefully suited to the design of the ornament.

Model year comparison

Chrysler really liked the bird motif in the early '50s. 1951 & '52 ornaments are on the right - I have not been able to determine which is which. (Like the '55 & '56 Chevy ornaments, they are so similar that most vendors do not know which is which) 1954 is upper left; 1955 is lower left.
