The mascot on the bonnet/hood doesn't fit either a Consul (too long: the Consul had quite a short V-shaped one) or the Simca, which didn't have one at all, so it might be after-market.

The mascot on the bonnet looks like an after-market item indeed; it may have been quite popular, however, since something of the like appears now and then on Vedettes of the period: http://pagespro-orange.fr/burel/simca/simca_17852.jpg -- Last edit: 2008-02-18 01:53:22
