I didn't see any on the net. Here is a picture. Looks like you might be able to have a simpler version made on a mill... or if you can borrow one, make some simple molds, cast it with resin... and paint it silver.

Better than nothing.

check this out:

It's just a picture - but great detail.. if only you could buy the ornament for that price!

I was curious and clicked the American Arrow Corporation link, only to find the website has been hacked and you'll get a vulgar black background message. I clicked on the e-mail link to let them know they have a problem, and just got a "thanks for letting us know" message, along with this:

Thank you for notifying us! Very disturbing as we just got our site back up working due to a hacker.
We make the 1934 Plymouth Ship Hood Ornament. The current price is $500.00 plus $25 shipping.
Again, thank you

Not cheap, but a source.... Great link, RichB!!

Roger:
I had noticed that also (hack), and did not know what to make of it. Since
there was so many sources on that site I linked it. That is a steep
price ,but I saw a segment on one of the TV shows (Car Crazy?)
that showed the amazing work they do. It's good you notified them,
It didn't dawn on me to do that.

Gonzo,
Since I had asked about the '34 Plymouth Hood Ornament the manager sent me a PDF of their catalog and shared that the price will be going up $50 effective October 1, 2013. If you're thinking of ordering you might want to save $50 in the next couple of weeks....

Thanks for all the replies, I found one but its badly pitted and the front sail is broken off on top of the fact they want 400.00 for it. I'll check out the website

You're going to find their website shut down because of the hacker. Call the number in the post above, and ask them to send their catalog via e-mail.

I did a little googling myself yesterday and I must say that out of all the Plymouth hood ornaments I saw from '34 to the '50s, that '34 has got to be the classiest and coolest one of them all - - - - to me, it's almost like the Holy Grail of hood ornaments! Sure hope you find one for your Ride.

Broke down, called them up and ordered it. I have searched high and low and I can not find an original one that's not trashed so a shinny new stainless chrome on it is. It will finish the ride off nicely

Way to go, RichB!! Good link for an all but impossible piece to find!!

I hope everything work's out, post pics !

Take care, Rich
