Aussie only emblem sold from the UK.
Interesting to know if it's a Repro or Original
I'd hate to see what that would do to a pedestrian...

similar emblems were common in the late 50s & 60s...
on other cars

Probably no where near as bad as a lot of City Drivers with massive bull bars on their cars.
If people are stupid enough to Run with the Bulls, and jump out in front of a moving car, they can think themselves honoured to be speared with such a
fine looking object!

Horty 2 there innner guards not wings
wings are something thats on an Aeroplane to make it fly LOL
We have Mudguards here in Aussie
Hey it looks like a very nice car looks like you have spent a few winters evening cleaning and polishing underneath
Does you EMPI steering wheel have a crack at the 12oclock position
Just saw this, appears to be two emblems, the top "aeroplane" one appears facing backwards and looks to be from an american fifties car. The bottom vw emblem were around in the sixties, I think someone has joined the two, the give-away being the 'plane one facing backwards. BUT I am no expert and could be wrong, just someone from that era!
could be from a 49/50 pontiac but I think they had a indian chiefs head on the back, maybe its been cut off?
Hey Guys...
Its not 2 emblems put together.
The emblem is a genuine VW bonnet emblem.
(From the pics, u cant tell if its a Repro or an OG one)
They were made from the one casting
and the aussie name for it was the "Bullet" VW Bonnet Emblem
cheers for that vwscene
Its a repro I can confirm that though as mentioned in previous post
have a look at this link about the history and different versions, I think you will find it interesting.

Thanks Horty2 for the clarification, I stand corrected! Interesting though and I didn't know it was a rocket but you live and learn! I remember Austin cars sometimes had a similar emblem but with an "A" instead of a VW, wonder if the same firm made emblems for different marques?
