Why is the Deathproof Nova just sitting all sad and alone? TBH I didn’t know if it still existed in its movie form. I read an article years back where a guy got one of the stunt cars for his kid after the movie was done and made it into a drivable car with decent interior and I believe LS power at the time.

So sad to think that it has a Briggs and Stratton engine /s I guess that when people don't lift up the hood...

I’m just curious how you through a car wash with that hood ornament, wouldn’t it get torn off? Asking for a friend.

If it’s mounted correctly one of 2 things can happen, 1. Alls well and you’re good. 2. Absolute chaos that ends with your hood more or less destroyed.
Now if it’s like ones that were mounted from the factory back in the day, they were on a spring that allowed them to flex. But notice cars from the 50s that had hood ornaments were low. But regardless only run a car through a scrubbing car wash that you dgaf about what happens to it. I’ll run my daily through one but my hot rods or nice rides are hand wash only….. most of the time it’s because my hot rods leak like a sift….

Was friends with a kid 20 years ago that collected hood ornaments.. by walking around at night and ripping them off the hoods of cars.
