1958 Pontiac Hood Ornament

Polaroid photograph of a 1958 Pontiac Indian Head Hood Ornament in the warm light of the early morning. Interestingly, it is mounted on the hood of a 1958 Chevrolet Viking Truck!

This truck is one of several old cars and trucks that one of my neighbors has parked behind his house.

Pontiac cars used an Indian head on their hood ornaments because the brand was named for a Native American chief named Pontiac. His tribe, the Ottowa, lived in the area around the modern city of Detroit, Michigan.
