Hi there,

Í'm obviously new here so pardon the question, but google did not provide a lot of help.

I have the chance to get my hands on a 73 Ninety Eight. It's definitely in 99% original condition and seems to be complete (chrome and stuff), but there's one thing I'm not sure about. Is it supposed to have a hood ornament or not?
Most of pictures and brochures I've seen do not have one, not even the Regency's, but the green one on wikipedia has got one.

Not on the hood. There is an emblem in the center of the grill!

 

Thx
But what about the green one on the picture above? Did the guy who edited wikipedia get the year wrong?
I don't mean the red rocket, but the golden looking one you can hardly see because the car is so shiny

 

No hood ornament on the '73. Someone added the hood ornament to the car in the picture:

That green one is awsome!
