These modifications also extended to the car&#8217;s appearance with a unique paint job, or a vinyl decal. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E45\"><span id=\"E46\">Today, getting a decal on your car is still possible.

With time, car designers began to add a little flair to the motometer<\/span><span id=\"E72\"> by dressing it up with fancy <\/span><span id=\"E73\">embellishments<\/span><span id=\"E74\">. By the 1920s, the temperature gauge <\/span><span id=\"E75\">was no longer placed on the hood of the car and <\/span><span id=\"E76\">had <\/span><span id=\"E77\">made its way <\/span><span id=\"E78\">to the car&#8217;s dashboard<\/span><span id=\"E79\">, where it was easier for drivers to see<\/span><span id=\"E80\">. But the hood ornament continued to be used as a cap for the radiator, which was contained under the hood. Popular <\/span><span id=\"E81\">hood ornament <\/span><span id=\"E82\">designs in the twenties<\/span><span id=\"E83\"> and thirties<\/span><span id=\"E84\"> included animals and winged creatures. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E87\"><span id=\"E88\">Sadly, by the late fifties, car makers began to conceptualize a different kind of car. And today, <\/span><a id=\"E89\" contenteditable=\"false\" href=\"http:\/\/europe.newsweek.com\/autos-doing-away-hood-ornaments-88375?rm=eu\" target=\"_blank\"><span id=\"E90\" class=\"qowt-stl-Hyperlink\">hood ornaments are a rare sight<\/span><\/a><span id=\"E91\"> in car showrooms. Among the reasons cited are pedestrian safety concerns, aerodynamics, and vandal problems. But despite all of that, nothing says Americana like a shiny and sleek sculpture on your hood. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"E93\"><span id=\"E94\">The Big Boxy Convertible<\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"E96\"><span id=\"E97\">Car<\/span><span id=\"E98\"> manufacturers <\/span><span id=\"E99\">may <\/span><span id=\"E100\">say <\/span><span id=\"E101\">otherwise<\/span><span id=\"E102\">,<\/span><span id=\"E103\"> but<\/span><span id=\"E104\"> the big boxy convertibles popular in the fifties and sixties<\/span><span id=\"E105\"> is design at its best<\/span><span id=\"E106\">.
