Didn't someone link a few months back to an eBay seller of
reproduction jumbo-size 600-Grosser-style hood stars?  About twice as
big as the regular 115/123/etc variety?  One of those would be just
right to announce the arrival of the noble Chicken Wagon.

You could always clip a new star out of some microwave sheet metal, 
and spray paint it silver.  Should look good from 20 ft away.

paint it silver.  Should look good from 20 ft away.

A 110/111/112 star and base is a great thing.  It still looks like a 
radiator cap.  It is hefty.


Does this differ from a 115 ornament?  Mine looks like a radiator cap.
