Description

The Chessie is distinguished by its waterproof, wavy coat – ideal for the waterfowl hunter. Its temperament is a little more guarded for lack of a better word, but it is known for its strength and determination. The Chessie is not as friendly to strangers, but is loyal to its owner and sometimes makes a good watchdog. But above all, it is still regarded as a superb retriever and gun dog.

Chesapeake Bay Retriever Hood Ornament – Dimensions:  3″ x 4″

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. 

The most popular and standard finish is a stunning chrome-plate over bronze. You may also choose it as bronze only. 

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. 

Not all Louis Lejeune chrome-plated over bronze hood ornament models are in stock, due to the fact that there are many of them and demand for some is rarer than others. If this model is not in stock, please allow about 3-10 weeks to finish.

If this model is in stock, please allow about 1-3 days to ship. Ships overnight from the UK to the US.
