Think of a Louis Lejeune Hood Ornament as giving your car or truck your personality. It certainly gives it the royal treatment – these hood ornaments grace the royal family’s vehicles.
Louis Lejeune car and truck hood ornaments are a work of art. They are cast in solid bronze by a team of craftsman using sand casting or the lost-wax method. All are cast and finished using the traditional materials and techniques Louis Lejeune has been famous for since 1910. Each statue that makes a hood ornament (car mascot) features the artisan’s unfailing attention to detail and high quality.
The standard finish is a stunning chrome plate over bronze.
Most bases are about 1/4″ thick. The hood ornament is attached by bolts to the hood of the car, and the mounting hardware is included with each one. However, some hood ornaments can be attached by magnets, while some are not suitable for magnets. Please let us know if you are interested in this option.
