If the driver kept the hood ornament lined up on the edge of the road he could be sure he was on his side.
I never knew that. In my era we "nosed" the car [removed hood ornament] for a streamlined look. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Ever wonder why the older cars (up through the 50's) had hood ornaments?
