Question 1950 88 hood ornament? Anyone?

Got a blank space on the hood of both my 1950 88 and the four-door 1949 parts car where a hood ornament is supposed to go. Anyone know where I can get one?

Hood rocket

Jim, I think this is the deluxe hood ornament from a 1950. $35.00 plus shipping. PM me if interested.

BeenThere, I recognize the center rocket and side fins as close to what I'm looking for but there is one issue that I see in the pictures that concerns me: the fins to the outside of the ornament do not seem to follow the same line as the rocket itself. It appears as if they are traveling in non-parallel directions (like the nose of the rocket is pointing down slightly). If I am incorrect and this in fact fits on my hood and looks good being there, I would happily take if from you. What can you tell me about this optical illusion?

Jim, a couple more pictures. The rocket is not bent or broken.
