Pink Cadillac with Texas longhorn hood ornament

Abstract

Description

This pink Cadillac was parked in front of a Fred Meyer store in Fairbanks, Alaska. The hood ornament, which spans the width of the car, is a pair of Texas Longhorn horns joined together with studded leather strips and fine rope. The horns are mounted on a piece of painted wood, centered on the hood, towards the front, above the Cadillac symbol. The horns are fairly flat and point down at the tips. In this particular form of automobile decoration, the horns are more often mounted pointing up. The car has a yellow and black Alaska license plate.
