ABOUT
Car Mascots of the early 20th Century
Car mascots of the early 20th century were elegant emblems adorning the hoods of automobiles, symbolizing style, prestige, and individuality. Originally serving as radiator caps, these mascots evolved into intricate sculptures that reflected the spirit of the age. Early designs were often crafted from materials like bronze, nickel, and glass, featuring artistic themes such as animals, mythological figures, and geometric forms.
Luxury car brands like Rolls-Royce set the standard with mascots like the iconic Spirit of Ecstasy, a graceful figure symbolizing speed and beauty. Lalique, the renowned French glassmaker, created exquisite crystal glass car mascots for brands like Bugatti and Bentley. These mascots were both functional and decorative, representing wealth and taste.
By the 1930s, regulations and changing tastes led to simpler designs, but the legacy of these mascots remains a testament to the artistry and innovation of early automotive culture.
