Found on Road Alive : 1932 LA Olympic Radiator Badge

A little reminder of LA's Olympic past

A little reminder of our Olympic history.

Back in the day when cars had their radiators out front instead of behind a grill they used radiator badges to decorate their car.  I found this one at a cruise the other day from the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics on an old roadster so worn and used that the only other badge remaining was “Deluxe” which could have been either a Ford or Chevy.

 

The image is by me.  Reworked in the “Orton” effect style with the help of photoshop.
