Default Radiator Cap Mascot for Bill

I saw this nice cap on a Phaeton from the Chicago group headed to the museum grand opening today.

BTW, I didn't drive my Model A because I heard rain was in the forcast, and I don't have side curtains nor a car cover. So far the weather is just perfect.

Yo, Meatball, Buster T, here,
We saw a WEENY Dog with wheels like that, and it had a fringed canopy on it for SHADE, really COOL!! Glad I can run good. Wish Ol' Bill could run. (He jist "runs" his mouth, but I love him!) Buster T.

My avatar picture is of my Nipper radiator ornament. It came off of a Victor dealer's delivery vehicle. I found it at a phonograph show and is now my seed to build a Model A C-Cab delivery vehicle.

I don't think that is a Weeny Dog, I think that is a good ol' fashion Southern Hound like my Bushman. I would love to find a ornament like it.

Nice mascot. I'm surprised that you wasn't concerned that an original radiator cap may have been ruined, in the process. Insert smiley face.

Why would you travel perched on the radiator when you can travel in style in the back with your brother ???

Here's another dog cap for Bill, but this one is overpriced and ugly.
