Re: [Amc-list] cross country on ebay-hood spears?

I believe they were 'available' on the '57 and went one on each side of the
hood's badge (which was 'Nash', NOT the later 'R' in '58)
HOWEVER...
Look at this 'Original in all respects' 1958 now on EBay...

Little Spears on the hood...
I had a '58 Ambassador..it had 'bomb sights' on the fenders, nothing on the
hood.
I know the American (I believe in '60) had these 'Spears' on the hood, but I
think it ...well, I don't really know the more I think of it...I thought 1,
but it may have had two.
These are now starting to spike my interest...it's like 'one of those songs
you hear now and then..' which you 'just have to know' it's name...this'll
now bother me until we do, in fact, 'solve' it.
So...where do these Spears come from, when did they 'begin' and 'end'??
I say they didn't pass 1960.
Origin about 1957.
But I'm going to seek to verify it.

Question- so those hood ornament spears you mentioned, and were in the pic
of the 1960 classic rambler white/red wagon, are those not part of the car,
they were just added on from another model or did all the 60's have them? am
curious because they now look familiar, my dad found some of them along with
other parts?in? rambler packages in his basement some time ago, i looked at
them and didn't have any idea what they went to, didn't look familiar to me
or him- he had a 61 cross county super wagon in white, aluminum engine, 3 on
the tree, red interior with reclining seats. and a radio. the first
amc/rambler i ever drove. hec I think the first car I ever drove. i remember
he has some parts and I didn't recognize them at all. there were also? a
bunch of some kind of mirros in?rambler/amc box, they looked like a bullet
painted white, like the front bullet bumper of some old buicks. didn't look
familiar to me? on any amc that I knew of from the 70's and up. its nice to
look at thi
 s old stuff, kind of like art work. but they didn't look familiar to me,
until now and I see that picture and am curious what it went to. If any one
can confirm that woudl be great, thanks. i'd love to tell him what they went
to.
