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!

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!

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?

Hi Guys,
It is an actual version of one of the original Flying VW emblems produced, there were at least three different types made.
We have an original of this same reproduction on Dad's '54 Oval
